Shouldn't the alternative hypothesis be p > 0.3 because the teacher is claiming that they are using more gold beads during the activity

#

in this example shown it says the researcher thinks the candidate is overestimating meaning they think the candidate would have less than 40 percent support

But

#

It’s two tailed

#

So it’s
H0:p=0.3
H1:p≠0.3

#

Wait uh no my bad no 😭

#

Read the q wrong yes it’s >

#

yeh it's one tailed

#

under H0: X~B(20, 0.3)

#

work out P(X<=2)

#

if less than 0.05 reject H0, if not DO NOT reject - never say ACCEPT

#

there isn't sufficient evidence to actually straight up accept the null hypothesis, just enough to assert that the alternate hypothesis is too unlikely to be considered right

yes 👍

wet oasis
#

so was the working out they done here wrong then for the hypothesises that they stated

floral bison
#

yeh, should be p > 0.3

#

t madas with an uncharacteristic mistake

wet oasis
#

that's a relief thanks

#

I'm struggling to determine what h1 is for this question though

#

I'm assuming it's be p < 0.4

floral bison
#

yep 👍

awesome
