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? A. O Ho: P = 0.59; Ha: p = 0.59 B. O Ho: P = 0.59; Ha: p > 0.59 C. O Ho: p = 0.78; Ha: p = 0.78 D. O Ho: p = 0.78; Ha: p > 0.59
