Past studies have indicated that the percentage of smokers was estimated to be about 35%. Given the new smoking cessation programs that have been implemented, you now believe that the percentage of smokers has reduced. You randomly surveyed 2405 people and found that 799 smoke. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the percentage of smokers has reduced. a) Identify the null and alternative hypotheses? H0: H1: b) What type of hypothesis test should you conduct (left-, right-, or two-tailed)? left-tailed right-tailed two-tailed c) Identify the appropriate significance level.
