Question

Consider the following hypothesis problem. N = 23 S² = 60 H₀: σ² ≤ 66 H_a: σ² > 66 If the test is to be performed at the .05 level of significance, the null hypothesis A) should be rejected. B) should not be rejected. C) should be revised. D) should not be tested.

The information provided does not include a test statistic or critical value to directly assess the hypothesis. However, without evidence or calculation showing that the sample standard deviation significantly exceeds the hypothesized value (σ ≤ 66), we cannot reject the null hypothesis. The choice to reject or not reject a hypothesis is based on statistical evidence, which is not fully detailed here.
