Express the Null Hypothesis and the Alternative Hypothesis in Symbolic $( \mu , \rho , \sigma )$

question 3

Multiple Choice

Express the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis in symbolic form. Use the correct symbol $( \mu , \rho , \sigma )$ for the indicated parameter. An entomologist writes an article in a scientific journal which claims that fewer than 16 in ten thousand male fireflies are unable to produce light due to a genetic mutation. Use the parameter $p$ , the true proportion of fireflies unable to produce light.

• A) \(H _ { 0 } : p < 0.0016\)
• \(H _ { 1 } : p \geq 0.0016\)
• B) \(H _ { 0 } : p = 0.0016\)
• \(H _ { 1 } : p > 0.0016\)
• C) \(H _ { 0 } : p > 0.0016\)
• \(H _ { 1 } : p \leq 0.0016\)
• D) \(H _ { 0 } : p = 0.0016\)
• \(H _ { 1 } : p < 0.0016\)
