Answer: [tex]H_0:p\leq0.25[/tex]
[tex]H_a:p>0.25[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : In the past , 25% of the town residents participated in the school board elections.
Let 'p' be the proportion of voters will participated in the school board elections.
Claim : [tex]p>0.25[/tex]
We know that the null hypothesis has equal sign.
Therefore , the null hypothesis for the given situation will be opposite to the given claim will be :-
[tex]H_0:p\leq0.25[/tex]
And the alternative hypothesis must be :-
[tex]H_a:p>0.25[/tex]
Hence, the correct set of hypotheses is
[tex]H_0:p\leq0.25[/tex]
[tex]H_a:p>0.25[/tex]
