In 2008, the population of part-time college students was 60% female. We are curious if the proportion has decreased this year. We test the hypotheses: H0: p=0.60 and Ha: p<0.60, where p is the proportion of part-time college students that are female this year. Which of the following p-hat values will give the smallest p-value?   a. 14/25=0.56 b. 12/25=0.48 c. 10/25= 0.40
