Question

Back in the 1970s it was estimated that about 10% of Americans hunt. However, many of those close to the hunting sport believe there is a decline in the percentage of those that hunt now. A recent study by the US Fish and Wildlife Services found that of the 346 Americans surveyed, 53 of them say they hunt. Using a significance level of 0.05, test the claim that the proportion of American hunters now is less than what it was in the 1970s. e. Suppose we reject the null hypothesis. State the conclusion in the context of this problem. a. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of hunters is still equal to 0.10. b. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of hunters is less than 0.10. c. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of hunters is greater than 0.10 d. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of hunters is less than 0.10.

n=846 d=0:05 X = 53 P=O The nuse and alternative hypothesis are:- Ho: P = 0 Haipeol (Left tailed test) e.) As Givenis we Reject the Nude hypothesis. optiqb- There is sufficient evidence to Conclude that the proportion of hunters is less than 0.1o. d.) option [b- if the proportion of hunters was equal to 0.10, then the probability of obtaining a sample proportion as unusual as 5.99% is 0.0035
