Respuesta :

Answer:

Null hypothesis, p = 56

alternative hypothesis, p > 56

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample size (n) = 900

Sample proportion= 60%

P =60%

Hypothesized proportion= 56%

p = 56%

Null hypothesis:

H0: p = 56

This means that the percentage of residents who favor construction is equal to 56%.

Alternative hypothesis:

Ha: p > 56

This means that the percentage of residents who favor construction is above 56%.
