A large fishing farm with thousands of fish has been treating its fish to stop a spreading fungal infection. A simple random sample of 150 fish is taken and a careful examination determines that 12 of the fish sampled are infected. The infection would be contained if fewer than 10% of the fish were infected. To answer this question, define the population parameter or distribution about which hypotheses are to be tested.

Question
A large fishing farm with thousands of fish has been treating its fish to stop a spreading fungal infection. A simple random sample of 150 fish is taken and a careful examination determines that 12 of the fish sampled are infected. The infection would be contained if fewer than 10% of the fish were infected. To answer this question, define the population parameter or distribution about which hypotheses are to be tested. O The proportion p of fish infected in the population O The proportion of fish infected is less than 10% O The mean (u) number of fish is different from 10% O The mean (p) number of fish in the population.
