A newsletter publisher believes that 49% of their readers own a personal computer. A testing firm believes this is inaccurate and performs a test to dispute the publisher's claim. After performing a test at the 0.05 level of significance, the testing firm decides to reject the null hypothesis. What is the conclusion regarding the publisher's claim?

The conclusion regarding the publisher's claim is that the 49% of their readers  own a personal computer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis is always opposite of the claim . If the null hypothesis is rejected it means the claim is accepted.

The alternate hypothesis ( claim) is

Ha: u = 0.49

The null hypothesis  is

H0 : u ≠ 0.49

The null hypothesis is rejected. The claim is accepted.

The claim ( alternate hypothesis ) was the newsletter publisher believe which is accepted.

The conclusion is drawn that the newsletter publisher was accurate that 49% of their readers  own a personal computer.

K(x) = (1/4)^x

(1,4) when x = 1, k(1) = (1/4)^1 = 1/4FALSE
(3, 1/64) when x = 3, k(3) = (1/4)^3 = 1/64TRUE
(-1,4) when x = -1, k(-1) = (1/4)^-1 = 4TRUE
(0, 1/4) when x = 0, k(0) = (1/4)^0 = 1FALSE

answer
(3, 1/64)
(-1,4)
