Question

question 2 of 20, step 1 of 1. the mayor of a town believes that over 37% of the residents favor annexation of an adjoining bridge. is there sufficient evidence at the 0.10 level to support the mayors claim? after information is gathered from 410 voters and a hypothesis test is completed, the mayor fails to reject the null hypothesis at the 0.10 level. what is the conclusion regarding the mayors claim? answer: there is sufficient evidence at the 0.10 level of significance that the percentage of residents who support the annexation is over 37 %. there is not sufficient evidence at the 0.10 level of significance that the percentage of residents who support the annexation is over 37 %.

Explanation:

In hypothesis - testing, failing to reject the null hypothesis means that the data does not provide enough evidence to support the alternative hypothesis. Here, the mayor's claim is the alternative hypothesis. Since the null hypothesis is not rejected at the 0.10 significance level, there is not enough evidence to support the mayor's claim.

Answer:

There is not sufficient evidence at the 0.10 level of significance that the percentage of residents who support the annexation is over 37 %.
