According to the UCLA Internet Report (February 2003) the use of the Internet at home is growing steadily and it is estimated that roughly 59.3% of households in the United States have Internet access at home. Has that trend continued since the report was released? To study this, a random sample of 1,200 households from a big metropolitan area was chosen for a more recent study, and it was found that 972 had an Internet connection. Let p be the proportion of U.S. households that have internet access.Write down the null and alternative hypotheses in the space provided below:
Question
According to the UCLA Internet Report (February 2003) the use of the Internet at home is growing steadily and it is estimated that roughly 59.3% of households in the United States have Internet access at home. Has that trend continued since the report was released? To study this, a random sample of 1,200 households from a big metropolitan area was chosen for a more recent study, and it was found that 972 had an Internet connection. Let p be the proportion of U.S. households that have internet access.Write down the null and alternative hypotheses in the space provided below:
Solution
The null and alternative hypotheses for this study would be as follows:
Null Hypothesis (H0): p = 0.593 - This suggests that the proportion of U.S. households with internet access has not changed since the 2003 UCLA Internet Report.
Alternative Hypothesis (H1): p ≠ 0.593 - This suggests that the proportion of U.S. households with internet access has changed (either increased or decreased) since the 2003 UCLA Internet Report.

The UCLA Internet Report (February 2003) estimated that a proportion of roughly 0.75 of online homes are still using dial-up access, but claimed that the use of dial-up is declining. Is that really the case? To examine this, a follow-up study was conducted a year later in which, out of a random sample of 1,308 households that had Internet access, 804 were connecting using a dial-up modem.Let p be the proportion of all U.S. Internet-using households who have dial-up access. In the previous activity, we established that the appropriate hypotheses here are:H0: p = 0.75 and Ha: p < 0.75
Based on a recent poll of 1,015 U.S. households that have an Internet connection, the researchers claimed with 95% confidence that among all U.S. households that have an Internet connection, between 63% and 67% have a high-speed link.point estimationinterval estimationhypothesis testing
