If a hypothesis test is performed, how should you interpret a decision that (a) rejects the null hypothesis or (b) fails to reject the null hypothesis? A researcher claims that at most 17% of people had no health care visits in the past year. Does the claim represent the null hypothesis or the alternative hypothesis? Since the claim a statement of equality, it represents the V hypothesis (a) How should you interpret a decision that rejects the null hypothesis? | the claim that at most 17% of people had no health care visits in the past year. evidence to There is (b) How should you interpret a decision that fais to reject the null hypothesis? l the claim that at most 17% of people had no health care visits in the past year. There is evidence to reject support

Answer 1

Ho:p ≤ 0.17
H1: p > 0.17

      
since the claim contains a statement of equality, it represents the null hypothesis      
      
a)      
there is enough evidence to reject the claim that at most 17% of people has no health care visits in the past year      
      
b)      
there is not enough evidence to reject the claim that at most 17% of people has no health care visits in the past year
