The University will reject the proposal if it thinks that more than 15% (i.e. 0.15) of the students will not be happy with this change and proposed a pilot test to measure the effect of this change to students. Out of 200 students who attended classes on-line, 40 of them expressed their absolute dissatisfaction.
