Claim: Most adults would erase all of their personal information online if they could. A software firm survey of 417 randomly selected adults showed that 55% of them would erase all of their personal information online if they could. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. a. Express the original claim in symbolic form. Let the parameter represent the adults that would erase their personal information.
We claim most of the adults which indicates more than 50% or .50...let population proportion be p ..so p>.50..The null hypothesis states that the population proportion is equal to the value mentioned in the claim...so Ho:p=0.50..
The claim is either the null hypothesis or the alternative hypothesis...if the null hypothesis is the claim...then the alternative hypothesis states the opposite of null hypothesis...Ha:p>.50
Hence
Ho:p=.50
at Ha:p>.50
