Question:

The label on a can of mixed nuts says that the mixture contains 40% peanuts. After opening a can of nuts and finding 22 peanuts in a can of 50 nuts, a consumer thinks the proportion of peanuts in the mixture differs from 40%. The consumer writes these hypotheses: H0: p ≠ 0.40 and Ha: p = 0.44 where p represents the proportion of peanuts in all cans of mixed nuts from this company. Are these hypotheses written correctly? Correct any mistakes as needed.
