b. Null hypothesis: The mean proportion of all people who stop in the store(s) who try the samples offered is greater than 0.15. Alternative hypothesis: The mean proportion of all people who stop in the store(s) who try the samples offered is 0.15.

c. Null hypothesis: The mean proportion of all people who stop in the store(s) who try the samples offered is equal to 0.15. Alternative hypothesis: The mean proportion of all people who stop in the store(s) who try the samples offered is not equal to 0.15.

d. Null hypothesis: The mean proportion of all people who stop in the store(s) who try the samples offered is less than 0.15. Alternative hypothesis: The mean proportion of all people who stop in the store(s) who try the samples offered is equal to 0.15.
