Can I please get help on question #2 and the 7th through tenth bullet points starting with "State whether the results..." and ending with "Find a way to change..."

**Hypothesis Testing Steps for Three Scenarios**

For each of the three scenarios below, follow the steps in the hypothesis testing process with a significance level of \( \alpha = 0.05 \).

1. **State the null and alternative hypotheses, explaining your thought process.**
   
2. **Determine the type of test to use**, from the three learned this week, and explain your choice.
   
3. **Identify the area of interest for the test**, specifying whether it will be to the left, right, or two-tailed, and how you know.
   
4. **Calculate the test statistic** appropriate for the test you've chosen.
   
5. **Find the p-value** corresponding to the test statistic, taking into consideration the direction determined for the area.
   
6. **Explain what the p-value represents.**
   
7. **Determine if the results are statistically significant**, based on the relationship between the p-value and \( \alpha \).
   
8. **Interpret the test results** using the vocabulary of hypothesis testing.
   
9. **Interpret the test results in simple terms**, without specialized vocabulary.
   
10. **Modify only the sample size** to produce the opposite conclusion, changing nothing else about the data.

**Scenarios:**

1. **Quality Control at a Factory:**
   - The factory produces 2000 products daily. You're tasked with evaluating if less than 90% of products are of acceptable quality. A sample of 100 products reveals 12 defective items. Is this sample sufficient evidence to conclude that today's product quality is below 90%?

2. **Fruit Fly Species Study:**
   - This species is supposed to have a normally distributed wingspan with a mean of 4 millimeters and a standard deviation of 0.3 millimeters. You are collecting data to validate this mean. In a sample of 78 fruit flies, the mean wingspan is 4.1 millimeters.

3. **Different Fruit Fly Species Research:**
   - This species is believed to have a mean wingspan of 6 millimeters. You're studying if there is evidence to suggest a deviation from this mean.
