Suppose a screening program for the early detection of breast cancer wras started in order to increase the survival rate p of those diagnosed to have the disease. A random sample of 200 women was selected from among those who were screened by the program and who vwere diagnosed to have the disease. Let x represent the number of those in the sample who survive the disease. A USE SALT (a) If you wish to determine whether the community screening program has been effective, state the alternative hypothesis that should be tested.
