A researcher is interested in determining if the more than two thirds of students would support making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving a holiday. The researcher asks 1,000 random selected students if they would support making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving a holiday. Seven hundred students said that they would support the extra holiday. What is the null and alternative hypothesis?

The null hypothesis is, {H₀}: p = 0.66, H₀: p = 0.66 .

The alternative hypothesis is, {Hₐ}: p > 0.66, Hₐ: p > 0.66

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the proportion of students who are supportive of making the day before Thanksgiving a holiday.

Since two populations are considered, the alternative hypothesis for the difference of the means of the two populations has to be stated.

The proportion of two-third students are supportive of making the day before Thanksgiving a holiday is p = 0.66 obtained as shown below:

The null hypothesis is,

{H₀}:p = 0.66, H₀: p = 0.66

The alternative hypothesis is,

{Hₐ:p > 0.66, Ha: p > 0.66

The null hypothesis is, {H₀}: p = 0.66, H₀: p=0.66 .

The alternative hypothesis is, {Hₐ}: p > 0.66, Hₐ: p > 0.66
