Assume a significance level of α=0.05and use the given information to complete parts​ (a) and​ (b) below.   Original​ claim: The mean pulse rate​ (in beats per​ minute) of a certain group of adult males is 71 bpm. The hypothesis test results in a​ P-value of 0.0826.     a. State a conclusion about the null hypothesis.​ (Reject H0 or fail to reject H0​.) Choose the correct answer below.     A. Reject H0 because the​ P-value is less than or equal to α.   B. Fail to reject H0 because the​ P-value is greater than α.   C. Fail to reject H0 because the​ P-value is less than or equal to α.   D. Reject H0 because the​ P-value is greater than α.   b. Without using technical​ terms, state a final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Which of the following is the correct​ conclusion?     A. The mean pulse rate​ (in beats per​ minute) of the group of adult males is not 71 bpm.   B. There is sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the mean pulse rate​ (in beats per​ minute) of the group of adult males is 71 bpm.   C. There is not sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the mean pulse rate​ (in beats per​ minute) of the group of adult males is 71 bpm.   D. The mean pulse rate​ (in beats per​ minute) of the group of adult males is 71 bpm.

Question
Assume a significance level of α=0.05and use the given information to complete parts​ (a) and​ (b) below.
 
Original​ claim: The mean pulse rate​ (in beats per​ minute) of a certain group of adult males is 71 bpm. The hypothesis test results in a​ P-value of
0.0826.
 
 
a. State a conclusion about the null hypothesis.​ (Reject
H0 or fail to reject
H0​.)
Choose the correct answer below.
 
 
A.
Reject
H0
because the​ P-value is
less than or equal to
α.
 
B.
Fail to reject
H0
because the​ P-value is
greater than
α.
 
C.
Fail to reject
H0
because the​ P-value is
less than or equal to
α.
 
D.
Reject
H0
because the​ P-value is
greater than α.
 
b. Without using technical​ terms, state a final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Which of the following is the correct​ conclusion?
 
 
A.
The mean pulse rate​ (in beats per​ minute) of the group of adult males is not
71
bpm.
 
B.
There
is
sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the mean pulse rate​ (in beats per​ minute) of the group of adult males is
71
bpm.
 
C.
There
is not
sufficient evidence to warrant rejection of the claim that the mean pulse rate​ (in beats per​ minute) of the group of adult males is
71
bpm.
 
D.
The mean pulse rate​ (in beats per​ minute) of the group of adult males is
71
bpm.
