Based on information from a previous study, r1 = 34 people out of a random sample of n1 = 105 adult Americans who did not attend college believe in extraterrestrials. However, out of a random sample of n2 = 105 adult Americans who did attend college, r2 = 50 claim that they believe in extraterrestrials. Does this indicate that the proportion of people who attended college and who believe in extraterrestrials is higher than the proportion who did not attend college? Use ? = 0.01.

Can attack of a plant by one organism induce resistance to subsequent attack by a different organism? In a study of this question, individually potted cotton plants were randomly allocated to two groups. Each plant in one group received an infestation of spider mites; the other group were kept as controls. After 2 weeks the mites were removed, and all plants were inoculated with a fungus that causes wilt disease. According to the research question, H0: Miles do not induce resistance to wilt. Ha: Mites do induce resistance to wilt. What is the alternative hypothesis in symbols when p represents the proportion of wilt disease in a group? p1 < p2 or p1 > p2?
