Apsychologist claims that less than 5.8 percent of the population suffers from professional problems due to extreme shyness. express the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis in symbolic form. use p, the true percentage of the population that suffers from extreme shyness. select one: a. h0: p = 5.8% h1: p < 5.8% b. h0: p > 5.8% h1: p ≤ 5.8% c. h0: p < 5.8% h1: p ≥ 5.8% d. h0: p = 5.8% h1: p > 5.8%

In statistics, you may test a hypothesis using different statistical techniques like ANOVA or the F-test. You should have the null hypothesis, denoted as H0 and the alternative hypothesis, denoted as H1. Null hypothesis is the hypothesis you would like to test on. This is called as such because this is the hypothesis statisticians would like to test to nullify. This would be p < 5.8%. On the other hand, the alternative hypothesis is the contrary of the null hypothesis. Hence, the alternative hypothesis is p ≥ 5.8%. The answer is C.
