Introduction to Hypothesis Testing
State the claim mathematically. Then write the null and alternative hypothesis. Determine whether the hypothesis test is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed.
a. In a recent poll, it was found that 43% of registered U.S. voters would vote for the incumbent president. If 100 registered voters were sampled randomly, it was found that 35% would vote of the incumbent. Test the claim that the actual proportion is 43%.

H0: p = 43
Ha: p not equal to 43
Test: Because Ha contains the not eual to 43, the testis a two-tailed hypothesis test.
