In a random sample of males, it was found that 21 write with their left hands and 217 do not.
In a random sample of females, it was found that 63 write with their left hands and 436 do not.
Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the rate of left-handedness among males is less than that among females.
Complete parts (a) through (c) below.
a.?Test the claim using a hypothesis test.
Consider the first sample to be the sample of males and the second sample to be the sample of females. What are the null and alternative hypotheses for the hypothesis test?
A. H0: p1=p2 H1: p1>p2
B. H0: p1?p2 H1: p1?p2
C. H0: p1=p2 H1: p1?p2
D. H0: p1=p2 H1: p1<p2
E. H0: p1?p2 H1: p1=p2
F. H0: p1?p2 H1:p1?p2
