Academic Advising: In 2014, the Community College Survey of Student Engagement reported that 32% of the students surveyed rarely or never use academic advising services. Since then, a local California community college that participated in the survey hired several new academic counselors and focused on outreach efforts to increase student awareness of available services. The counseling office staff then conducted a survey of 500 randomly selected students at the college, and 26% of those students said that they rarely or never use academic advising services. Campus administrators want to know whether the hiring and outreach efforts increased student use of academic advising. Which alternative hypothesis is appropriate?
The percentage of students at the college who say that they rarely or never use academic advising services is not the same as the percentage reported by the Community College Survey of Student Engagement (32%)
The percentage of students at the college who say that they rarely or never use academic advising services is 26%.
The percentage of students at the college who say that they rarely or never use academic advising services is less than the percentage reported by the Community College Survey of Student Engagement (32%)
The percentage of students at the college who say that they rarely or never use academic advising services is greater than the percentage reported by the Community College Survey of Student Engagement (32%)
