Question

7.It has recently been claimed that 47% of adults regularly listen to podcasts.  A researcher believes this claimed value is too low.  She decides to gather data in order to conduct a hypothesis test, and she writes her alternative hypothesis as “p < 0.47.”  What is wrong with this?
Group of answer choices

The alternative hypothesis should have an “=” sign rather than the “<” sign.

The wrong symbol is being used in the alternative hypothesis; p-hat should be used instead of p.

Nothing is wrong.

The alternative hypothesis should have a “>” sign rather than the “<” sign.

We cannot determine what might be wrong without knowing what the null hypothesis is.
