Problem

For students who first enrolled in two-year public institutions in a recent semester, the proportion who earned a bachelor's degree within six years was 0.397 . The president of a certain junior college believes that the proportion of students who enroll in her institution have a higher completion rate.
(a) State the null and alternative hypotheses in words.
(b) State the null and alternative hypotheses symbolically.
(c) Explain what it would mean to make a Type I error.
(d) Explain what it would mean to make a Type II error.
B. Among students wno rirst enroll in two-year pubil institutions, the compietion rate is U.syi.
C. Among students who enroll at the certain junior college, the completion rate is 0.397 .

Answer

Symbolically, this is represented as H1: p > 0.397.

Steps

Step 1 :The alternative hypothesis in words is 'Among students who enroll at the certain junior college, the completion rate is greater than 0.397'.

Step 2 :Symbolically, this is represented as H1: p > 0.397.
