We want to make a decision …
About the proportion of successful sales in a region of the country where a new rep works …

Where do we start?We start with the null hypothesis, H0
About the proportion of successful sales in a region of the country where a new rep works
H0: p = 0.42
About the proportion of voters who are going to cast a vote for our candidate in an upcoming election
H0: p = 0.50
About the proportion of some segment of car buyers who decide to purchase a particular make & model automobile after a major remodel
H0: p = 0.123

The statement of a difference, an increase or decrease, a change; the alternative hypothesis, HA
About the proportion of successful sales in a region of the country where a new rep works
HA: p < 0.42
About the proportion of voters who are going to cast a vote for our candidate in an upcoming election
HA: p > 0.50
About the proportion of some segment of car buyers who decide to purchase a particular make & model automobile after a major remodel
HA: p ≠ 0.12

ExampleOn the old website, 20% of visits to
SmartWool’s page resulted in a sale. Suppose you collect a sample of 200 visits to the new page and find that 58 have resulted in a sale.
A) Frame appropriate null and alternative hypotheses for the proportion of sales that result in a sale.
B) Based on this sample and = 0.05, does the new website generate more sales per visit?
