Inadequate exposure to outdoor lighting conditions may increase the risk of myopia in children. A study was designed to estimate the rates of myopia among young children (6-7 years old) in Australia. A random sample of 124 young children in Australia was selected, and the researchers found that 7 of them had myopia. The researchers are interested in testing whether the proportion of myopia among young children in Australia is above 4%. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? [Select ) What is the test statistic? [ Select] What is the correct conclusid if our alpha value is 0.05? Select from below [ Select ] A. Our test statistic is more extreme than our critical value of 1.645. We reject the null hypothesis and conclude that more than 4% of Australian young children has myopia. B. Our test statistic is less extreme than our critical value of 1.645. We fail to reject the null hypothesis and cannot conclude that more than 4% of Australian young children has myopia. C. Our test statistic is more extreme than our critical value of 1.96. We reject the null hypothesis and conclude that more than 4% of Australian young children has myopia. D. Our test statistic is less extreme than our critical value of 1.96. We fail to reject the null hypothesis and cannot conclude that more than 4% of Australian young children has myopia.
