It has recently been claimed that 25% of adults consider spring to be their favorite season of the year. A researcher is skeptical of this claim and believes this percentage is too low. She surveys a random of 1,000 adults and finds that 390 of these adults consider spring to be their favorite season of the year. As she prepares to conduct a hypothesis test, the researcher writes out her alternative hypothesis as “p < 0.25.” What is wrong with this? The alternative hypothesis should be “p > 0.39.” The alternative hypothesis should be “p < 0.39.” The alternative hypothesis should be “p > 0.25.” The alternative hypothesis should be “p = 0.25.” Nothing is wrong with the given alternative hypothesis.
