Instruction 9-1
A student claims that she can correctly identify whether a person is studying a business or science major by the way the person dresses. Suppose in actuality that if someone is studying a business major, she can correctly identify that person as a business student 87% of the time. When a person is studying a science major, the student will incorrectly identify that person as a business student 16% of the time. Presented with one person and asked to identify the area of study of this person (who is studying either a business or science major) , she considers this to be a hypothesis test with the null hypothesis being that the person is a business student and the alternative that the person is a science student.
