The hypotheses are as follows:
Null hypothesis: proportion reporting improvement = 48%
Alternative hypothesis: proportion reporting improvement > 48%
Select one:
A.
Rejecting the null hypothesis means there is evidence that the proportion reporting improvement is not equal to 48%
Failing to reject the null hypothesis means there is insufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion reporting improvement is greater than 48%
B.
Rejecting the alternative hypothesis means there is evidence that the proportion reporting improvement is equal to 48%
Accepting the null hypothesis means there is evidence to conclude that the proportion reporting improvement is equal to 48%
C.
Rejecting the null hypothesis means there is evidence that the proportion reporting improvement is greater than 48%
Failing to reject the null hypothesis means there is insufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion reporting improvement is greater than 48%
D.
Rejecting the null hypothesis means there is evidence that the proportion reporting improvement is greater than 48%
