A statistics professor wants to see if more than 80% of her students enjoyed taking her class. At the End of the term, she takes a random sample of students from her large class and asks, in an Anonymous survey, if the students enjoyed taking her class. Which set of hypotheses should she Test? A) $\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : p 0.80$ $\mathrm { H } _ { \mathrm { A } } : p = 0.80$ B) $\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : p 0.80$ C) $\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : p = 0.80$ $\mathrm { H } _ { \mathrm { A } } : p 0.80$ E) $\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : p

Question

A statistics professor wants to see if more than 80% of her students enjoyed taking her class. At the End of the term, she takes a random sample of students from her large class and asks, in an Anonymous survey, if the students enjoyed taking her class. Which set of hypotheses should she Test? A) $\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : p > 0.80$ $\mathrm { H } _ { \mathrm { A } } : p = 0.80$ B) $\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : p < 0.80$ $\mathrm { H } _ { \mathrm { A } } : p > 0.80$ C) $\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : p = 0.80$ $\mathrm { H } _ { \mathrm { A } } : p < 0.80$ D) $\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : p = 0.80$ $\mathrm { H } _ { \mathrm { A } } : p > 0.80$ E) $\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : p < 0.80$ \ (\mathrm { H } _ { \mathrm { A } } : p \neq 0.80\)

The null hypothesis ($H_0$) should state that the proportion is equal to 0.80, and the alternative hypothesis ($H_A$) should state that the proportion is greater than 0.80, as the professor wants to test if more than 80% of students enjoyed the class.
