Answer:

For this case we want to determine  if pennies are really fair when flipped, meaning equally likely to land head up or tails, so then the correct system of hypothesis are:

Null hypothesis: p=0.5

Alternative hypothesis: p \neq 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A hypothesis is defined as "a speculation or theory based on insufficient evidence that lends itself to further testing and experimentation. With further testing, a hypothesis can usually be proven true or false".  

The null hypothesis is defined as "a hypothesis that says there is no statistical significance between the two variables in the hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that the researcher is trying to disprove".  

The alternative hypothesis is "just the inverse, or opposite, of the null hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that researcher is trying to prove".  

Solution to the problem

For this case we want to determine  if pennies are really fair when flipped, meaning equally likely to land head up or tails, so then the correct system of hypothesis are:

Null hypothesis: p=0.5

Alternative hypothesis: p \neq 0.5

Answer:

Answer:

Option B is correct.

Miguel should study for the Science quiz as he will do worse in that quiz by guessing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Miguel has to take two quizzes

1) 4 true or false questions on History with a 0.5 chance of acing the quiz

Expected number of correct questions = np

n = number of questions

p = probability of acing the test

Expected number of correct questions = 4 × 0.5 = 2

2) 3 multiple choice questions on Science with a 0.2 chance of acing the quiz.

Expected number of correct questions = 0.2 × 3 = 0.6

It is evident that guessing would yield a worse result in the Science quiz with less than 1 question expected to be correct than history, where he is still expected to get 2 questions correctly by guessing.
