Je stelt: 'Bij de one-tailed test moet de null-hypothese wel verworpen worden omdat 51% van onze ingediende klachten gegrond is.'

Ten eerste is het 58% en niet 51% (100% - 42% = 58%).

Ten tweede wil dit niet zeggen dat de null hypothese zomaar verworpen moet worden. Dit zal enkel het geval zijn bij extreme p-waarden. Het feit dat de p-waarde dus minder dan 50% kans aangeeft dat de null hypothese correct is, wil niet zeggen dat deze dus verworpen moet worden.

Je geen trouwens geen argumentatie voor het gebruik van ofwel de 1 of 2 zijdige methode.

Gezien je hier een vermoeden hebt dat het om goedkoop vlees gaat, kan je stellen dat de 1 zijdige methode het beste is.

De student maakt inderdaad een fout met te zeggen dat 51% van de klachten gegrond is, maar ik denk dat dit maar een rekenfoutje was.
Het lijkt me niet logisch om de nul hypothese te verwerpen. Je moet het niet bekijken dat 58% gegrond is, maar dat 41% NIET gegrond is. Dit is een veel te groot risico om te lopen, dus dien je best geen klacht in.
Verder kon je nog zeggen dat we een eenzijdige test gebruiken omdat ons vermoeden van fraude slechts in één richting gaat: namelijk te goedkoop.
