HELP! what does pi mean when quantifying the null and alternative hypothesis?

The use of pi in hypothesis tests?? HELP!?


Hello. I am having some trouble understanding what the pi symbol represents when quantifying the null and alternative hypotheses! It looks something like this








Ho: 蟺 = 1/3





Ha: 蟺%26gt;1/3|||We use Greek letters to indicate that the measures come from a population, not a sample.





蟺 stands for the population proportion like 碌 stands for the population mean and 蟽 stands for the population standard deviation.





Ha is saying that you believe that the true population proportion is greater than 1/3





The Ho ought to read the opposite of Ha-





Ho: 蟺 鈮?1/3
