Survey have practical importance


The manufacturer of the ColorSmart-5000 television set claims that 95 percent of its sets last at least five years without needing a single repair.

Of these 400 consumers, 316 say that their ColorSmart-5000 television sets did not need repair, while 84 say that their ColorSmart-5000 television sets did need at least one repair.

a.: Letting p be the proportion of ColorSmart-5000 television sets that last five years without a single repair, set up the null and alternative hypotheses that the consumer group should use to attempt to show that the manufacturer's claim is false.
