Post by: Biala on Jul 30, 2019
Express the null hypothesis and the alternative null hypothesis in symbolic form. Use the correct symbol(mean, p, standard deviation) for the indicated parameter. An entomologist writes an article in a scientific journal which claims that fewer that 3 in ten thousand male fireflies are unable to produce light due to a genetic mutation. Use the parameter p, the true proportion of fireflies unable to produce light.
