Question

A skeptical paranormal researcher claims that the proportion of Americans that have seen a UFO, p, is less than 2 in every one thousand. A) $\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : \mathrm { p } = 0.002$ $\mathrm { H } _ { 1 } : \mathrm { p } > 0.002$ B) $\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : \mathrm { p } > 0.002$ $\mathrm { H } _ { 1 } : \mathrm { p } \leq 0.002$ C) $\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : \mathrm { p } < 0.002$ $\mathrm { H } _ { 1 } : \mathrm { p } \geq 0.002$ D) $\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : \mathrm { p } = 0.002$ $\mathrm { H } _ { 1 } : \mathrm { p } < 0.002$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The null hypothesis ($H_0$) represents the skeptical claim that the proportion is equal to 0.002, while the alternative hypothesis ($H_1$) represents the researcher's claim that the proportion is less than 0.002.
