(Refer to the previous problem). A social scientist is interested in determining if the Americans between the ages of 25 and 44 are becoming more educated as a group. What would the decision be if we were to conduct a test that the true proportion of individuals with an associate’s degree or higher is greater than 0.383, the proportion reported by the U. S. Census Bureau, at the 0.01 level of significance? Read carefully!

Reject H0. The true mean number of people who have an associate\'s degree or higher is equal to 0.383.

Reject H0. The true proportion of individuals with an associate’s degree or higher is greater than 0.383.

Fail to reject H0. We conclude that the true proportion of individuals with an associate’s degree or higher is not 0.

Fail to reject H0. We cannot conclude that the true proportion of individuals with an associate’s degree or higher is greater than 0.383.

Reject H0. The true proportion of individuals with an associate’s degree or higher is different from 0.50.
