homes in the USA were heated by natural gas. A
random sample of 324 homes in Oregon found that
137 were heated by natural gas. Test the claim that
proportion of homes in Oregon that were heated by
natural gas is different from the US reported
proportion. Use a 1% significance level. Give answers
accurate to at least 3 decimal places.
What are the correct hypotheses? (Select the correct
symbols and use decimal values not percentages.)
