An official with campus dining services claimed that a majority of the students at her university had a campus meal plan. A reporter for the campus newspaper was skeptical of this and decided to investigate the situation. She took a random sample of 75 students and asked them if they had a meal plan. She then used Statcrunch software to construct the following output. What conclusion should we make from this output?

Hypothesis test results: Outcomes in : meal_plan Success : Yes p : Proportion of successes H₀: p = 0.5 H_A: p < 0.5

Variable Count Total Sample Prop. Std. Err. Z-Stat P-value meal_plan 33 75 0.44 0.0577 -1.039 0.1493

Select one:

a. We should reject the null hypothesis and conclude there is evidence that less than half the students have a meal plan.b.We should NOT reject the null hypothesis and conclude there is evidence that less than half the students have a meal plan.c.We should NOT reject the null hypothesis and there is insufficient evidence to conclude that less than half of the students have a meal plan.d.We should reject the null hypothesis and there is insufficient evidence to conclude that less than half of the students have a meal plan.
