The hypothesis test results in a P-value of 0.147. a. State a conclusion about the null hypothesis. (Reject Upper H0 or fail to reject Upper H0.) Answer: Fail to reject the null.

C)There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the proportion of male golfers is less than 0.8.

D)There is not sufficient evidence to reject the claim that the proportion of male golfers is less than 0.8.

Explanation / Answer

H0:The proportion of male golfers is equals to 0.8.

H1: The proportion of male golfers is less than 0.8.
