State the decision rule in terms of the critical value of the test statistic. b. State the calculated value of the test statistic. c. State the conclusion. a. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box(es) to complete your choice. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) A. Reject the null hypothesis if the calculated value of the test statistic, z, is greater than nothing or less than nothing. Otherwise, do not reject the null hypothesis. B. Reject the null hypothesis if the calculated value of the test statistic, z, is greater than nothing and less than nothing. Otherwise, do not reject the null hypothesis. C. Reject the null hypothesis if the calculated value of the test statistic, z, is less than nothing. Otherwise, do not reject the null hypothesis. D. Reject the null hypothesis if the calculated value of the test statistic, z, is greater than nothing. Otherwise, do not reject the null hypothesis.
Given that, n = 63 and
The null and the alternative hypotheses are,
since, it is two-tailed test, critical values at 0.01 level of significance are, Z* = ± 2.58
a) Decision rule: Reject the null hypothesis if the calculated value of the test statistic, z, is greater than 2.58 or less than -2.58. Otherwise, do not reject the null hypothesis.
b) Test statistic is,
Test statistic = Z = 0.83
c) Since, test statistic = 0.83 < 2.58
we fail to reject the null hypothesis (H0).
