Question
### Formulating Hypotheses: Example Exercise

**Conjecture:**
For the following conjecture, state the null and alternative hypothesis.

**Statement:**
92% of teenagers have never smoked cigarettes.

**Hypotheses to Formulate:**

1. **Null Hypothesis (\(H_0\)):**
   - The null hypothesis is \(H_0: p = 0.92\), where \(p\) represents the proportion of teenagers who have never smoked cigarettes. 
   
2. **Alternative Hypothesis (\(H_1\)):**
   - The alternative hypothesis is \(H_1\). This can be one of the following based on the research question:
     - \(p \neq 0.92\) (two-tailed test: the proportion is different from 92%)
     - \(p < 0.92\) (left-tailed test: the proportion is less than 92%)
     - \(p > 0.92\) (right-tailed test: the proportion is more than 92%)

**Diagram/Tool Explanation:**
- The section next to the hypotheses has a drop-down or input field that allows for selection of the symbol (e.g., =, ≠, <, >) to complete the hypothesis statement based on the context or research question.
