Question

According to the Centers of Disease Control, about 20% of American young people between the ages of 12 and 19 are obese.
A student claims that the students his local schools are in better shape than the national average, so their proportion of obese students is less than 20%.

 

  • Which are the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses for this study?
    • H0: p = 20%, H1: p < 20%
    • H0: p = 20%, H1: p > 20%
    • H0: p = 20%, H1: p ≠ 20%
    • H0: p ≠ 0, H1: p = 0
  • Suppose that the result of the statistical is to reject H0.
    Which is the proper conclusion?
    • There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the students at his local schools have a smaller true proportion of obese students.
    • There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the students his local schools have a smaller true proportion of obese students.
    • There is not enough information to answer this question.
