A) $p = 0.15$
B) $\mathrm { p } > 0.15$
C) $\mathrm { p } < 0.15$
D) $\mu > 0.15$
E) $\mu \neq 0.15$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct alternative hypothesis should state that there is an increase in the proportion of employees who are open to innovativeness and change, which means the proportion after the program is completed is greater than 15% (the proportion before the program). Therefore, the correct option is B) p > 0.15.
