Question

In a certain year, 26% of people aged 65–69 worked. Suppose that a recent report claimed that the percentage of people aged 65–69 who work has increased since that year.

Answer 1

Considering the situation described, the appropriate hypotheses set is given by:

$H_0: p = 0.26$

$H_1: p > 0.26$

What are the hypotheses test?

At the null hypotheses, we test if there is not enough evidence that the percentage has increased, that is, it still is of 26%, hence:

$H_0: p = 0.26$

At the alternative hypotheses, we test if there is evidence that it has increased, hence:

$H_1: p > 0.26$
