Question

I bought a new set of headphones, and it failed after two days. The manufacturer claims that this happens only in less than 1 percent of cases. 
The Bureau of Consumer Affairs decides to investigate my complaint and tests 120 sets of headphones.  

What should their null hypothesis be if they want to collect evidence against the manufacturer's claim? What form should their p-value have?


a. H0: p>= 0.01 with p-value P(k >= c | p = 0.01)
b. H0: p<= 0.01 with p-value P(k <= c | p = 0.01)
c. None of the other answers is correct.
d. H0: p<= 0.01 with p-value P(k >= c | p = 0.01)
e. H0: p>= 0.01 with p-value P(k <= c | p = 0.01)
