Expert Solution

A scientist concluded in a test that 24% of people contracted in the disease. The scientist was studying on the spread of the disease AIDS.

Step 2

Level of significance:

he significance level is a value that is used as a criterion for deciding how small a p-value needs to be to provide convincing evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

For concluding a test, in the conclusion the level of significance should be present.That is, in which level of significance the conclusion is correct that should be mentioned.

But in the conclusion the level of significance is not mentioned.

Suppose the level of significance for the test is α. Hence, the conclusion will be 24% of the people contracted the disease in α% level of significance.
