Question:

According to the National Coffee Drinking Study from the National Coffee Association, 40% of 18- to 24-year-olds in the United States regularly drink coffee every day. Suppose this number is accurate. In a sample of 140 students at Hope College we found that 63 of them (or 45%) regularly drink coffee. We want to test whether the daily coffee-drinking habits of students at Hope College differ from the 40% claim for the nation. Which of A–E is an appropriate way to set up the hypotheses, in symbols, for this test? 

A. H0: p̂ = 0.40, Ha: p̂ ≠ 0.40 

B. H0: π = 0.40, Ha: π ≠ 0.40 

C. H0: p̂ = 0.45, Ha: p̂ ≠ 0.45 

D. H0: π = 0.45, Ha: π ≠ 0.45 

E. H0: π = 0.40, Ha: π > 0.40
