Test the claim that the proportion of people who own cats is significantly different than 10% at the 0.05 significance level.

The null and alternative hypothesis would be:

\displaystyle {H}_{{0}}:\mu\le{0.1}

\displaystyle {H}_{{1}}:\mu>{0.1}

\displaystyle {H}_{{0}}:{p}\le{0.1}

\displaystyle {H}_{{1}}:{p}>{0.1}

\displaystyle {H}_{{0}}:{p}\ge{0.1}

\displaystyle {H}_{{1}}:{p}<{0.1}

\displaystyle {H}_{{0}}:\mu={0.1}

\displaystyle {H}_{{1}}:\mu≠{0.1}

\displaystyle {H}_{{0}}:\mu\ge{0.1}

\displaystyle {H}_{{1}}:\mu<{0.1}

\displaystyle {H}_{{0}}:{p}={0.1}

\displaystyle {H}_{{1}}:{p}≠{0.1}

The test is:

two-tailed

right-tailed

left-tailed

Based on a sample of 400 people, 7% owned cats

The p-value is: (to 2 decimals)

Based on this we:

Reject the null hypothesis
Fail to reject the null hypothesis
