Answer:

a) null hypothesis

b) alternative hypothesis

c) explained below

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Let [tex]p_{0}[/tex] = The proportion of adults who favor legalized gambling in Canada. Then

[tex]H_{0}[/tex]:  [tex]p_{0}[/tex] = 0.50.

[tex]H_{a}[/tex]: [tex]p_{0}[/tex] ≠ 0.50.

(b)

Let [tex]p_{0}[/tex] = The proportion of all Canadian college students who are regular smokers. Then

[tex]H_{0}[/tex]:  [tex]p_{0}[/tex] = 0.24

[tex]H_{a}[/tex]: [tex]p_{0}[/tex] < 0.24
