A farmer wants to investigate whether a new pesticide will decrease the proportion of pumpkin plants that are being eaten by bugs in the farmer’s pumpkin patches compared to the current pesticide being used. The farmer applied the old pesticide to patch A and the new pesticide to patch B. Let pApA represent the proportion of pumpkin plants eaten by bugs in patch A and pBpB represent the proportion of pumpkin plants eaten by bugs in patch B. Assume all conditions for inference were met. Which of the following are the correct null and alternative hypotheses to test whether the new pesticide results in fewer pumpkin plants eaten by bugs?
