Test the claim that the proportion of people who own cats is significantly different than 20% at the 0.1 significance level.

The null and alternative hypothesis would be which of the following:

H 0 : μ ≤ 0.2 H 1 : μ > 0.2

H 0 : p ≥ 0.2 H 1 : p < 0.2

H 0 : μ = 0.2 H 1 : μ ≠ 0.2

H 0 : p ≤ 0.2 H 1 : p > 0.2

H 0 : μ ≥ 0.2 H 1 : μ < 0.2

H 0 : p = 0.2 H 1 : p ≠ 0.2

The test is: two-tailed or left-tailed or right-tailed

Based on a sample of 700 people, 24% owned cats The p-value is: ____________ (to 2 decimals)

Based on this we:
