A) The null hypothesis is p ≥ 0.01. The alternate hypothesis is p < 0.01 B) The null hypothesis is p = 0.01. The alternate hypothesis is p > 0.01 C) The null hypothesis is p ≥ 0.01. The alternate hypothesis is p > 0.01 D) The null hypothesis is p = 0.01. The alternate hypothesis is p ≠ 0.01 E) The null hypothesis is p< 0.01. The alternate hypothesis is p ≠ 0.01
