Question

claim: fewer than 11.5% 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 14,653 homes 5.81% 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 is the proportion \( p \) of homes that have only a landline telephone and no wireless phone.

Step2: Translate the claim into symbols

The claim is "Fewer than \( 11.5\% \)" which is \( 0.115 \). In symbolic form, it is \( p < 0.115 \).

Answer:

\( p < 0.115 \)
