Harper Simon · Answer 1

A ... equal to 30%

Step-by-step explanation:

A null hypothesis will try to say that there is no statistical significance between two variables and the researcher will try to disapprove it.

In this case, Dr, Huber will try to disapprove that 30% of all tea-drinkers prefer green tea to black tea.

H₀:p=30% where p is the proportion of all tea-drinkers prefer green tea to black tea.
