- When a law firm represents a group of people in a class action lawsuit and wins that lawsuit, the firm receives a percentage of the group's monetary settlement. That settlement amount is based on the total number of people in the group - the larger the group and the larger the settlement, the more money the firm will receive. A law firm is trying to decide whether to represent car owners in a class action lawsuit against the manufacturer of a certain make and model for a particular defect. If 5 percent or less of the cars of this make and model have the defect, the firm will not recover its expenses. Therefore, the firm will handle the lawsuit only if it is convinced that more than 5 percent of cars of this make and model have the defect. The firm plans to take a random sample of 1000 people who bought this car and ask them if they experienced this defect in their cars. State the null and alternative hypotheses that the law firm should test.arrow_forwardWhen a law firm represents a group of people in a class action lawsuit and wins that lawsuit, the firm receives a percentage of the group's monetary settlement.

"Dalmatian Darnation," by Kathy SparlingA greedy dog breeder named Spreckles , Bred puppies with numerous frecklesThe Dalmatians he sought, Possessed spot upon spotThe more spots, he thought, the more shekels.His competitors did not agree, That freckles would increase the fee.They said, “Spots are quite nice, But they don't affect price;One should breed for improved pedigree.”The breeders decided to prove, This strategy was a wrong move.Breeding only for spots, Would wreak havoc, they thought.His theory they want to disprove.They proposed a contest to Spreckles, Comparing dog prices to freckles.In records they looked up, One hundred one pups:Dalmatians that fetched the most shekels.They asked Mr. Spreckles to name, An average spot count he'd claimTo bring in big bucks.
