An airline claims that luggage is rarely lost (does not arrive at the destination at the same time as the passenger).

The airline claims that if luggage is lost, in 87% of cases the airline is able to recover and deliver the luggage within 24 hours.

A consumer watchdog group found a random sample of 125 people whose luggage was lost and found that 99 of them had their luggage recovered and returned within 24 hours.

The Sample proportion p-hat is 99/125 = 0.792.

The watchdog group wants to perform a hypothesis test against the claim that the airline is able to recover 87% of lost luggage in 24 hours.

What could be used as the null hypothesis for this problem?


a. The proportion of luggage recovered in 24 hours is equal to 87%.
b. The proportion of luggage recovered in 24 hours is greater than 87%.
c. The proportion of luggage recovered in 24 hours is less than 87%.
d. The proportion of luggage recovered in 24 hours is equal to 79.2%.
e. The proportion of luggage recovered in 24 hours is greater than 79.2%.
