Answer:

a. at least 20%, when in fact, it is less than 20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Type 1 Error is to reject null hypothesis when it is actually true.

Here the null hypothesis is fewer than 20% of Evergreen Valley College (EVC) students attended the show.

In mathematics fewer than 20% means less than  20%.

So the null hypothesis is that less than 20 % students attended the show.

We have to reject this hypothesis .

We can reject this hypothesis when we assume that the % is greater than or equal to 20 %

At least  20% means greater than or equal to 20%.

So the best choice is option a.

at least 20%, when in fact, it is less than 20%.
