Based on the Nielsen ratings, the local CBS affiliate claims its 11 p.m. newscast reaches 41% of the viewing audience in the area. In a survey of 100 viewers, 36% indicated that they watch the late evening news on this local CBS station. What is the alternate hypothesis?
H1: π = 0.36
H1: π = 0.41
H1: π ≠ 0.41
H1: µ ≠ 0.41
Answer is between
H1: π ≠ 0.41
H1: µ ≠ 0.41
To determine the alternate hypothesis in this scenario, we need to consider the information given.
The CBS affiliate claims that their 11 p.m. newscast reaches 41% of the viewing audience in the area, according to the Nielsen ratings. Additionally, a survey of 100 viewers indicated that 36% of them watch the late evening news on this local CBS station.
Based on this, we can conclude that the claim made by the CBS affiliate is that the proportion of viewership for their late evening news is 41%.
Therefore, the alternate hypothesis would be:
H1: π ≠ 0.41
This hypothesis states that the proportion of viewership for the local CBS affiliate's 11 p.m. newscast is not equal to 41%.
