Question
In the last presidential election, a national survey company claimed that no more than 50% (i.e., ≤ 50%) of all registered voters voted for the Republican candidate. In a random sample of 400 registered voters, 204 voted for the Republican candidate.
(a)
State the null and the alternative hypotheses. (Enter != for ≠ as needed.)
H0:
Ha:
(b)
Compute the test statistic.
(c)
Compute the p-value, and test the hypotheses using a 5% level of significance.
Find the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
p-value =
State your conclusion.
Do not reject H0. There is sufficient evidence to deny the survey company's claim.Reject H0. There is sufficient evidence to deny the survey company's claim. Do not reject H0.

- Previously, 3% of mothers smoked more than 21 cigarettes during their pregnancy. An obstetrician believes that the percentage of mothers who smoke 21 cigarettes or more is less than 3% today. She randomly selects 145 pregnant mothers and finds that 3 of them smoked 21 or more cigarettes during pregnancy. Test the researcher's statement at the a = 0.1 level of significance.

A nursery owner states that 75% of the offspring resulting from this cross will have red flowers. To test this claim, 100 seeds from this cross were collected and germinated, and 67 plants had red petals. What hypotheses should you use to test the nursery owner's claim?
