O Ho: u + 100 versus H,: µ = 100
O Ho: u < 100 versus H,: u > 100
Ho: u = 100 versus H: µ > 100
O Ho: u = 100 versus H,: µ < 100
State the test statistic. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

State the conclusion.
H, is not rejected. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean DL reading for current smokers is significantly lower than 100 DL, the average for
nonsmokers.
H, is rejected. There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean DL reading for current smokers is significantly lower than 100 DL, the average for
nonsmokers.
O H, is not rejected. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that the mean DL reading for current smokers is significantly lower than 100 DL, the average for
nonsmokers.
H, is rejected. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that the mean DL reading for current smokers is significantly lower than 100 DL, the average for
nonsmokers.
(b) Find a 99% one-sided upper confidence bound for the mean DL reading for current smokers. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
Does this bound confirm your conclusions in part (a)?
Since u = 100 does not fall v
in the confidence interval, it is unlikely
that the mean DL reading for current smokers is greater than or equal to 100 DL.
