A researcher is wondering whether the smoking habits of young adults (18-25 years of age) in a certain city in the U.S. are the same as the proportion of the general population of young adults in the U.S. A recent study stated that the proportion of young adults who reported smoking at least twice a week or more in the last month was 0.16. The researcher collected data from a random sample of 75 adults in the city of interest. State the hypotheses to be tested for this study. Also, identify which hypothesis is the claim.
