Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct hypothesis to test if fewer than half of the workers have Internet access at work is "p < .50" (alternative hypothesis) against the null hypothesis that half or more (p ≥ .50) have access. This setup aims to provide evidence against the null hypothesis in favor of the claim that fewer than half have Internet access.
