Question

Short-term classes: Does taking a class in a short-term format (8 weeks instead of 16 weeks) increase a student’s likelihood of passing the course? For a particular course, the pass rate for the 16-week format is 59%. A team of faculty examine student data from 40 randomly selected accelerated classes and determine that the pass rate is 78%. Which of the following are the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses for this research question? H 0 : p = 0.59; H a : p ≠ 0.59 H 0 : p = 0.59; H a : p > 0.59 H 0 : p = 0.78; H a : p ≠ 0.78 H 0 : p = 0.78; H a : p > 0.59
