Determine whether the claim stated below represents the null hypothesis or the alternative hypothesis. If a hypothesis test is​ performed, how should you interpret a decision that​ (a) rejects the null hypothesis or​ (b) fails to reject the null​ hypothesis?
 
A researcher claims that
more than
85​%
of people had
at least one

alternative
hypothesis.
​(a) How should you interpret a decision that rejects the null​ hypothesis?
 
There is
 
sufficient
insufficient
evidence to
 
support
reject
the claim that
more than
85​%
of people had
at least one
health care
visit
