Answer:

(b) H0: p = 0.5; Ha: p > 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

p represents the population proportion.

A null hypothesis is a statement from the population parameter which is either rejected or accepted (fail to reject) upon testing. It is expressed using the equality sign.

An alternate hypothesis is also a statement from the population parameter which negates the null hypothesis and is accepted if the null hypothesis is rejected. It is expressed using any of the inequality signs.
