Accоrding tо аn аrticle in Newsweek, the nаtural ratiо of girls to boys is 100:105. In China, the birth ratio is 100:114 (46.7% girls). Suppose you do not believe the reported figures for the percentage of girls born in China. You conduct a study. In this study, you count the number of girls and boys born in 150 randomly chosen recent births. There are 60 girls and 90 boys among the 150. Based on your study, do you believe the percentage of girls born in China is 46.7? a. State the null and alternate hypotheses (use statistical notations/symbols).b. State the p-value.c. State alpha.d. What is your decision (i.e., reject the null or not reject)?e. Reason for the decision?f. Write a conclusion (be sure your conclusion is written and relates to the context of the problem).
