A university is currently on the quarter system and is thinking of switching to a semester system. Administrators have heard that a majority of students oppose the switch. They conduct a survey to see if there is evidence of opposition to the switch. They will choose between two hypotheses: there is no clear preference, or the majority of students oppose the switch. Set up a hypothesis test to help the administrators. The data from the survey finds that 220 out of 400 students oppose. From this, you can compute a sample standard deviation. Should they switch or not?
