Question
7. It has recently been claimed that 47% of adults regularly listen to podcasts.  A researcher believes this claimed value is too low.  She decides to gather data in order to conduct a hypothesis test, and she writes her alternative hypothesis as “p > 0.47.”  What is wrong with this?

1. The wrong symbol is being used in the alternative hypothesis; p-hat should be used instead of p.
2. The alternative hypothesis should have a “<” sign rather than the “>” sign.
3. We cannot determine what might be wrong without knowing what the null hypothesis is.
4. Nothing is wrong.
5. The alternative hypothesis should have an “=” sign rather than the “>” sign.
