TABLE 9-2
A student claims that he can correctly identify whether a person is a business major or an agriculture major by the way the person dresses. Suppose in actuality that if someone is a business major, the student can correctly identify that person as a business major 87% of the time. When a person is an agriculture major, the student will incorrectly identify that person as a business major 16% of the time. Presented with one person and asked to identify the major of this person (who is either a business or an agriculture major) , the student considers this to be a hypothesis test with the null hypothesis being that the person is a business major and the alternative that the person is an agriculture major.

A) saying that the person is a business major when in fact the person is a business major
B) saying that the person is a business major when in fact the person is an agriculture major
C) saying that the person is an agriculture major when in fact the person is a business major
