Math Problem Statement

According to the 2010​ Census,

11.411.4​%

of all housing units in the United States were vacant. A county supervisor wonders if her county is different from this. She randomly selects

814814

housing units in her county and finds that

126126

of the housing units are vacant. Complete parts a through d below.

Part 1

​a) State the hypotheses.

Let the proportion of housing units in the county that are vacant be denoted by p. Choose the correct answer below.

A.Upper H 0 : p greater than or equals 0.114 Upper H Subscript Upper A Baseline : p less than 0.114

Upper H 0 : p greater than or equals 0.114H0: p≥0.114

Upper H Subscript Upper A Baseline : p less than 0.114HA: p<0.114

B.Upper H 0 : p equals 0.114 Upper H Subscript Upper A Baseline : p less than 0.114

Upper H 0 : p equals 0.114H0: p=0.114

Upper H Subscript Upper A Baseline : p less than 0.114HA: p<0.114

C.Upper H 0 : p less than 0.114 Upper H Subscript Upper A Baseline : p equals 0.114

Upper H 0 : p less than 0.114H0: p<0.114

Upper H Subscript Upper A Baseline : p equals 0.114HA: p=0.114

D.Upper H 0 : p equals 0.114 Upper H Subscript Upper A Baseline : p not equals 0.114

Upper H 0 : p equals 0.114H0: p=0.114

Upper H Subscript Upper A Baseline : p not equals 0.114
