Question

You are to test the following hypotheses: H₀: µ > 900 H_a: µ < 900 A sample of size 16 produces a sample mean of 882, with a standard deviation of 40.The p-value for this test is .0460.If the significance level set for the test is .01, we should A)Reject the null hypothesis since $\alpha$ < p-value. B)Reject the null hypothesis since p-value < $\alpha$. C)not Reject the null hypothesis since p-value > $\alpha$. D)not Reject the null hypothesis since $\alpha$ > p-value E)Accept the null hypothesis since p-value <$\alpha$

The correct decision is to not reject the null hypothesis because the p-value (.0460) is greater than the significance level (.01). This means there is not enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at the .01 significance level.
