Given H0: p ≥ 80% and Ha: p < 80%, determine whether the hypothesis test is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed.
-----------------
The alternate hypotheses, Ha, ALWAYS determines the
type of test.
If Ha: p < # the test is left tail
If Ha: p is not equal to # the test is two tail
If Ha: p > # the test is right tail
-----------------------------
Your Problem:
Since you have Ha: p < 80%, the test is left tail.
