A major airline company is concerned that its proportion of late arrivals has substantially increased in the past month. Historical data shows that on the average 18% of the company airplanes have arrived late. In a random sample of 1,240 airplanes, 310 airplanes have arrived late. If we are conducting a hypothesis test of a single proportion to determine if the proportion of late arrivals has increased, what is the correct statement of null and alternative hypotheses

The correct statement is  

The  null hypothesis is  

The alternative hypothesis is  

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The population proportion is  p  =  0.18  

    The  sample size is  n  =  1240 airplane

     The  number of airplane is  k  =  310

Generally the sample proportion is  

=>  

=>  

The  null hypothesis is  

The alternative hypothesis is  

no solution

step-by-step explanation:

there is not enough information in the problem to solve.

d. 24+-0.114

step-by-step explanation:

the question requires us to calculate the approximate 95% confidence interval for the mean number of ounces of ketchup per bottle in the sample given the following statistics;

sample mean = 24

standard deviation, σ = 0.4

sample size , n = 49

the confidence interval for a population mean is calculated using the formula;

sample mean ± z-score*(σ/sqrt(n))

the z-score associated with a 95% confidence interval, from the standard normal tables, is;

1.96

substituting these values into the formula;

24 ± 1.96*(0.4/7)

= 24 ± 0.112

from the alternatives given, choice d is closest to the above expression;
