Share with your peers the null and alternative hypotheses for a decision that is relevant to your life. This can be a personal item or something at work. Define the population parameter, the appropriate test statistic formula, and if the hypothesis test is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed. Be sure to set up your hypotheses, too. How did you decide on constructing these hypotheses? What level of significance would you use? Why?

The population parameters that you should use for this discussion are:

: the population mean

or

p: the population proportion

Be sure to include numerical values for your variables. Additionally, identify the Type I and Type II Errors that could occur with your decisionmaking process.

Be sure to support your statements with logic and argument, citing any sources referenced. Post your initial response early and check back often to continue the discussion. Be sure to respond to your peers' and instructor's posts, as well.
