A tutoring company would like to understand if most students tend to improve their grades (or not) after they use their services. They sample 220 of the students who used their service in the past year and ask them if their grades have improved or declined from the previous year. Write the null and alternative hypotheses in words.

Null hypothesis :

Grades have not improved for a majority of students

Alternative hypothesis :

Grades have improved for a majority of students

Step-by-step explanation:

The null and alternative hypothesis for this scenario who see the null hypothesis take a midpoint between improvement and decline ; which can be expressed as ;

H0 : p = 0.5

This means that the performance of students is at a centre point where it could swing either way (decline or improve).

To test of grade has improved students, the, the proportion of f students who have proved should be greater. Which is what the test intends.

H1 : p > 0.5
