Question
**Hypothesis Testing for Cat Ownership in U.S. Households**

Suppose the Humane Society claims that 30% of U.S. households own cats. You believe your community is different from the U.S. percentage. To test the claim, you take a simple random sample of 300 households and find that 30% own cats. Test at 10% significance. Round to the fourth.

- **Null Hypothesis (\(H_0\))**:
  - Select an answer [ ]
  - Select an answer [ ]
  - Select an answer [ ]

- **Alternative Hypothesis (\(H_A\))**:
  - Select an answer [ ]
  - Select an answer [ ]
  - Select an answer [ ]

**Questions and Fields to Fill:**

1. **How many successes were there?** 
   - [Input field]

2. **Test Statistic:**
   - [Input field]

3. **P-value:**
   - [Input field]

4. **Did something significant happen?**
   - Select an answer [ ]

5. **Select the Decision Rule:**
   - Select an answer [ ]

6. **There [ ] enough evidence to conclude**
   - Select an answer [ ] 

**Explanation**: In this exercise, you are asked to test a claim about cat ownership in U.S. households by using hypothesis testing. You'll need to state and test both the null and alternative hypotheses, calculate the test statistic and the p-value, and finally decide if there is enough evidence to support the claim.
