Null and Alternative Hypotheses · Exercise 10
Researchers published an article stating that in any one-year period, approximately 9.5 percent of American adults suffer from a particular type of disease. Suppose that in a survey of 100 people in a certain town, seven of them suffered from this disease. If you were conducting a hypothesis test to determine if the true proportion of people in that town suffering from this disease is lower than the percentage in the general adult American population, what would the null and alternative hypotheses be?
(a) H_0: ________
(b) H_a: ________
