Multiple Choice

The student senate at a local university is about to hold elections. A representative from the women's sports program and a representative from the men's sports program must both be elected. Two candidates, an incumbent and a challenger, are vying for each position and early polling results are presented next.

In a sample of 100 voters, 67 said that they would vote for the women's incumbent candidate. In a separate sample of 100 voters, 55 said they would vote for the men's incumbent candidate. Let p₁ and p₂ be the proportions of supporting votes for the incumbent candidates representing women's and men's sports programs, respectively. Which of the following are the competing hypotheses to determine whether the percentages of supporting votes are different between the two incumbent candidates?

• A) H 0 : p = p 0 , H A : p ≠ p 0
• B) H 0 : p 1 = p 2 , H A : p 1 ≠ p 2
• C) H 0 : p 1 ≤ p 2 , H A : p 1 > p 2
• D) H 0 : p 1 ≥ p 2 , H A : p 1 < p 2
