Algebra.Com's Answer #780878 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! b. When Ho is p1=p2, I want Ha to be everything else, which is p1 NE p2\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "c.

This means that such a result could happen by chance 0.1470 of the time if the true value were 0.08. We fail to reject Ho because the p-value is greater than alpha. That is b. We don't accept the null hypothesis but rather say we are unable to reject it. Not guilty vs, innocent analogy. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
