In a random sample of 1000 adult Americans, only 430 could name at least one justice who is currently serving on the US Supreme Court. A claim is that fewer than half of adult Americans can name at least one justice who is currently serving on the US Supreme Court. State the null hypothesis.

• H_o: p <.5, where p is the true proportion of Americans who can name one justice currently serving.

• H_o:p >.5 where p is the true proportion of Americans who can name one justice currently serving.

• H_o:p =.5 where p is the true proportion of Americans who can name one justice currently serving.

In a random sample of 1000 adult Americans, only 430 could name at least one justice who is currently serving on the US Supreme Court. A claim is that fewer than half of adult Americans can name at least one justice who is currently serving on the US Supreme Court. State the alternative hypothesis.

• H_a: p=.5, where p is the true proportion of Americans who can name one justice currently serving.

• H_a: p>.5, where p is the true proportion of Americans who can name one justice currently serving.

• H_a: p<.5, where p is the true proportion of Americans who can name one justice currently serving.

In a national survey of 2013 adults, 1283 indicated that they believe rudeness is a more serious problem than in years past. Does this indicate that more than 3/4 of American adults believe rudeness is a worsening problem? State the alternative hypothesis.

• H_a: p > .75, where p is the true proportion of Americans who believe rudeness is worsening.

• H_a: p = .75, where p is the true proportion of Americans who believe rudeness is worsening.

• H_a: p <.75, where p is the true proportion of Americans who believe rudeness is worsening.

The Associated Press found that 730 of 1000 randomly selected adults preferred to watch movies at home rather than at a movie theater. Is there convincing evidence that the majority of adult Americans prefer watching movies at home? State the alternative hypothesis.

• H_a: p = .50, where p is the true proportion of adult Americans who prefer watching movies at home.

• H_a: p < .50, where p is the true proportion of adult Americans who prefer watching movies at home.

• H_a: p > .50, where p is the true proportion of adult Americans who prefer watching movies at home.

In a survey of 526 US businesses, 400 indicated that they monitor employee's web site visits. Is there sufficient evidence that more than 70% of US businesses monitor employees' web site visits? State the null hypothesis.

• H_o: p = .70, where p is the true proportion of US businesses that indicated they monitor employee web sites.

• H_o: p < .70, where p is the true proportion of US businesses that indicated they monitor employee web sites.

In a random sample of 1000 adult Americans, 700 indicated that they oppose the reinstatement of a military draft. Is there convincing evidence that the proportion of American adults who oppose the reinstatement of the draft is different from two-thirds? State the null hypothesis.

• H_o: p < 2/3, where p is the true proportion of American adults who oppose the reinstatement of the draft.

• H_o: p > 2/3, where p is the true proportion of American adults who oppose the reinstatement of the draft.

• H_o: p = 2/3, where p is the true proportion of American adults who oppose the reinstatement of the draft.
