At a nearby college, there is a school-sponsored website that matches people looking for roommates. According to the school's reports, 39% of students will find a match their first time using the site. A writer for the school newspaper tests this claim by choosing a random sample of 160 students who visited the site looking for a roommate. Of the students surveyed, 54 said they found a match their first time using the site.

According to a report done last year by the dental industry, 81% of dentists would recommend Starry Whites toothpaste. After some recent negative publicity, the sales team at Starry Whites suspects the proportion of dentists who now recommend the brand is lower. The team chooses 150 dentists at random and asks them whether they'd recommend the brand. Of those, 118 say they'd recommend it. Complete the parts below to perform a hypothesis test to see if there is enough evidence, at the 0.10 level of significance, to conclude that the proportion, p, of all dentists who now recommend this brand is less than 81%. (a) State the null hypothesis Ho and the alternative hypothesis H, that you would use for the test. ( Ho: Aa O 10 under the assumption that the null hypothesis is true.) Here n is the sample size and p is the population proportion you are testing.

At a nearby college, there is a school-sponsored website that matches people looking for roommates. According to the school's reports, 42% of students will find a match their first time using the site. A writer for the school newspaper tests this claim by choosing a random sample of 170 students who visited the site looking for a roommate.
