This year, a certain state kept track of how many of its 1300 complaints were for identity theft. They want to know if the data provide enough evidence to show that this state had a higher proportion of identity theft than 23%23 \% ? State the random variable, population parameter, and hypotheses. a) The symbol for the random variable involved in this problem is ? \square The wording for the random variable in context is as follows: Select an answer b) The symbol for the parameter involved in this problem is ? 0
The wording for the parameter in context is as follows: Select an answer c) Fill in the correct null and alternative hypotheses: H0H_{0} : \square ? \square HAH_{A} : ? \square ? \square

Studdy Solution
a) The symbol for the random variable: p^\hat{p}.
The random variable is the proportion of identity theft complaints in that state this year.
b) The symbol for the parameter: pp.
The parameter is the true proportion of identity theft complaints in that state this year.
c) Null and alternative hypotheses: H0:p=0.23H_0: p = 0.23 HA:p>0.23H_A: p > 0.23
