What is the appropriate alternative hypothesis if a certain senior high school, a study found that 972 out that 1,100 Grade 12 students use smartphones. Using α = 0.10 level, is there enough evidence to conclude that the percentage of students who are using smartphones is different from 25%? Ha: p > 0.25Ha: p < 0.25Ha: p =0.25Ha: p ≠ 0.2
Question
What is the appropriate alternative hypothesis if a certain senior high school, a study found that 972 out that 1,100 Grade 12 students use smartphones. Using α = 0.10 level, is there enough evidence to conclude that the percentage of students who are using smartphones is different from 25%? Ha: p > 0.25Ha: p < 0.25Ha: p =0.25Ha: p ≠ 0.2
Solution
The appropriate alternative hypothesis for this study would be Ha: p ≠ 0.25. This is because the study is trying to determine if there is enough evidence to conclude that the percentage of students who are using smartphones is different from 25%, not specifically greater or less than 25%.

According to a Pew Research Center, in May 2011, 35% of all American adults had a smartphone (one which the user can use to read email and surf the Internet). A communications professor at a university believes this percentage is higher among community college students.She selects 300 community college students at random and finds that 120 of them have a smartphone. In testing the hypotheses H0, P = 0.35, versus Ha, p > 0.35, she calculates the test statistic as Z = 1.82.Use the normal table to identify the appropriate p-value for this Z score.Click here to access the normal table.Given these results, which of the following is an appropriate conclusion? There is enough evidence to show that more than 35% of community college students own a smartphone (p-value = 0.034). There is enough evidence to show that more than 35% of community college students own a smartphone (p-value = 0.068). There is not enough evidence to show that more than 35% of community college students own a smartphone (p-value = 0.966).
