A pre-licensure nursing program is reporting their first-time NCLEX results for the past five years across 10 cohorts. The benchmark for accreditation is an average cohort pass rate of 80%. The null hypothesis was that the program pass rate was statistically greater than or equal to the benchmark and the alternative hypothesis was that the program pass rate was statistically less than the bench mark. The results of the test were t(149) = 1.89, p = 0.03. What best defines the result of the pass rate related to accreditation.
