Use this information to answer questions 8-10.

Information from the CDC indicates the prevalence of obesity in American children ages 6-11 is 18.4%. A large school district concerned about childhood obesity started a school breakfast and lunch program 3 years ago to promote healthier choices including more fruits and vegetables. As a result, they believe the obesity rate is lower in children in their district.

To test their theory, they select a random sample of 150 students who've been enrolled in district schools for the past 3 years and found that 19 of them were obese.

8.) What is the alternate hypothesis?

a.)Ha: < 0.184

b.)Ha:p < 0.184

c.)Ha:p < 0.127

d.)Ha:< 19

e.)Ha:p^p^ < 0.127

9.)Perform the appropriate test and enter the p-value to 4 decimal places. Format of answer: 0.0816

10.) Using =0.05, select all appropriate conclusions.

a.)There is significant evidence to suggest that children in the district have a obesity prevalence 12.7%

b.)There is significant evidence to suggest that children in the district have a obesity prevalence lower than 0.184

c.)We have no evidence to reject the null

d.)We can reject the null of H0: p = 0.184
