Suppose you are a sociologist in Rock Springs, Wyoming and a random sample of police files showed that 32 arrests were made last month. Out of these arrests, 24 were of males aged 15 to 34 years. Use a 1 test to determine if the proportion of male arrests in this age group is significantly different from the overall proportion of male arrests in the population. What is the null hypothesis for this test?
1) The null hypothesis states that the proportion of male arrests in the age group of 15 to 34 years is equal to the proportion of male arrests in the population.
2) The null hypothesis states that the proportion of male arrests in the age group of 15 to 34 years is greater than the proportion of male arrests in the population.
3) The null hypothesis states that the proportion of male arrests in the age group of 15 to 34 years is less than the proportion of male arrests in the population.
4) The null hypothesis states that the proportion of male arrests in the age group of 15 to 34 years is not significantly different from the proportion of male arrests in the population.
