A company has just developed a new antibiotic. 2 percent of children taking competing antibiotics experience a headache as a side effect. A researcher believes that the proportion of children taking the new antibiotic who experience a headache as a side effect is more than 0.02. We know that the null hypothesis is H0 : p = 0.02 and the alternative hypothesis is H1 : p > 0.02. Suppose that the sample evidence indicates that a. the null hypothesis is rejected. State the conclusion. b. the null hypothesis is not rejected. State the conclusion.
