A decade-old study found that the proportion of high school seniors who felt that "getting rich" was an important personal goal was 69%. Suppose that we have reason to believe that this proportion has changed, and we wish to carry out a hypothesis test to see if our belief can be supported. State the null hypothesis H, and the alternative hypothesis H, that we would use for this test.
