A decade-old study found that the proportion of high school seniors who felt that "getting rich" was an important personal goal was. Suppose that we have reason to believe that this proportion has changed, and we wish to carry out a hypothesis test to see if our belief can be supported. State the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis that we would use for this test.

Construction of hypothesis

H₀ : p = 0.70

H₁ : p ≠ 0.70

Step-by-step explanation:

A the given statement does not give how much the goal was

lets suppose "getting rich" was an important personal goal than the proportion was 70 %

suppose that we believe that proportion has changed then construction of hypothesis for this H₀ for null hypothesis and H₁ is alternative hypothesis

Construction of hypothesis

H₀ : p = 0.70

H₁ : p ≠ 0.70

So construction of hypothesis state null and alternative hypothesis.
