For eight randomly selected states, the following table lists the per capita beer consumption (in gallons) and the per capita wine consumption (in gallons). Test H₀: p_s = 0 vs. H_A: p_s 0 for the relationship between beer consumption and wine consumption at the state level at α = .05. A) Reject the null hypothesis. B) Do not reject the null hypothesis.
