When testing gas pumps for​ accuracy, fuel-quality enforcement specialists tested pumps and found that 13001300 of them were not pumping accurately​ (within 3.3 oz when 5 gal is​ pumped), and 56935693 pumps were accurate. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim of an industry representative that less than​ 20% of the pumps are inaccurate. Use the​ P-value method and use the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. Identify the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis.

Question
When testing gas pumps for​ accuracy, fuel-quality enforcement specialists tested pumps and found that
13001300
of them were not pumping accurately​ (within 3.3 oz when 5 gal is​ pumped), and
56935693
pumps were accurate. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim of an industry representative that less than​ 20% of the pumps are inaccurate. Use the​ P-value method and use the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution.
Identify the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis.
 
 
A.
Upper H 0H0​:
pnot equals≠0.2
Upper H 1H1​:
pequals=0.2
 
B.
Upper H 0H0​:
pequals=0.2
Upper H 1H1​:
pnot equals≠0.2
 
C.
Upper H 0H0​:
pequals=0.2
Upper H 1H1​:
pgreater than>0.2
 
D.
Upper H 0H0​:
pequals=0.2
Upper H 1H1​:
pless than<0.2
Your answer is correct.
 
E.
Upper H 0H0​:
pgreater than>0.2
Upper H 1H1​:
pequals=0.2
 
F.
Upper H 0H0​:
pless than<0.2
Upper H 1H1​:
pequals=0.2
 
The test statistic is
zequals=nothing.
