During one flu epidemic the proportion of adults nationwide who have come down with the flu is 8%. The manufacturer of a flu vaccine claims that those who have been vaccinated are less likely to catch the flu.
The hypotheses are as follows:
Null hypothesis: proportion of those vaccinated catching the flu = 8%
Alternative hypothesis: proportion of those vaccinated catching the flu < 8%
Select one:
A.
Rejecting the null hypothesis means there is evidence that the proportion of those vaccinated catching the flu is less than 8%
Failing to reject the null hypothesis means there is insufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of those vaccinated catching the flu is less than 8%.
B.
Rejecting the null hypothesis means there is evidence that the proportion of those vaccinated catching the flu is not equal to 8%
Failing to reject the null hypothesis means there is insufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of those vaccinated catching the flu is equal to 8%.
C.
Rejecting the null hypothesis means there is insufficient evidence that the proportion of those vaccinated catching the flu is equal to 8%
Accepting the null hypothesis means there is evidence to conclude that the proportion of those vaccinated catching the flu is equal to 8%.
D.
Rejecting the null hypothesis means there is evidence that the proportion of those vaccinated catching the flu is less than 8%
Accepting the null hypothesis means there is evidence to conclude that the proportion of those vaccinated catching the flu is equal to 8%.

Answer :

The test hypothesis is

H₀: p=0.08 (null hypothesis) and

Hₐ: p<0.08 (alternative hypothesis )

Given that,

8% of adults in the country contract the flu at any given time during a flu epidemic. The following are the hypotheses:

0% of people who received the vaccine contracted the flu.

8% or less of people who received the vaccine ended up getting the flu.

In order to reject the null hypothesis, there must be proof that 8% of individuals who received the vaccine did not also get the flu.

If the null hypothesis is not rejected, then there is insufficient data to draw the inference that the proportion of people who receive the flu shot is 8%.

The test hypothesis is H₀: p=0.08 (null hypothesis) and Hₐ: p<0.08 (alternative hypothesis )
