Aline read a report saying 39% of teachers in the United State were members of a labor union. She wants to test whether this holds true for teachers in her state, so she is going to take a random sample of teachers and see what percent of them are members of a union. Let p represent the proportion of teachers in her state that are members of a union. Write an appropriate set of hypotheses for her significance test.

H0: p= 0.39   vs    Ha: p ≠ 0.39

Step-by-step explanation:

She wants to test whether this holds true for teachers in her state.

The test is the formulated into the hypotheses.

The null hypothesis would be

H0: p= 0.39   against the claim    Ha: p ≠ 0.39

The null hypothesis tells that the the proportion of teachers in her state that are members of a union is equal to the proportion of teachers in the US that are members of the labor union.

against the claim

That the the proportion of teachers in her state that are members of a union is  not equal to the proportion of teachers in the US that are members of the labor union.
