Question

The US Department of Energy reported that 52% of homes were heated by natural gas. A random sample of 324 homes in Oregon found that 136 were heated by natural gas. Test the claim that proportion of homes in Oregon that were heated by natural gas is different than what was reported. Use a 5% significance level. Give answer to at least 4 decimal places.

What are the correct hypotheses? (Select the correct symbols and use decimal values not percentages.)

H₀:______ _____ ______

H₁:______ _____ ______

Based on the hypotheses, find the following: 

Test Statistic=______

p-value=_______

Based on the above should we accept the alternative hypothesis, reject the null hypothesis, fail to reject the null hypothesis or accept the null hypothesis?

The correct summary would be: either, There is not enough evidence to support the claim, there is enough evidence to support the claim, there is enough evidence to reject the claim or there is not enough evidence to reject the claim? __________that the proportion of homes in Oregon that were heated by natural gas is different than what the DOE reported value of 52%.
