Question

claim: more than 3.6% of homes have only a landline telephone and no wireless phone. sample data: a survey by the national center for health statistics showed that among 12,428 homes 5.75% had landline phones without wireless phones. complete parts (a) and (b).
a. express the original claim in symbolic form. let the parameter represent a value with respect to homes that have only a landline telephone and no wireless phone.
(type an integer or a decimal. do not round.)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the parameter

The parameter here is the proportion \( p \) of homes that have only a landline telephone and no wireless phone.

Step2: Translate the claim into symbolic form

The claim is "More than \( 3.6\% \)" which is \( 0.036 \) in decimal form. So the symbolic form is \( p>0.036 \).

Answer:

\( p>0.036 \)
