Roger’s null hypothesis is that his blood tests are normal and that his alternative hypothesis is that something is wrong. Symbolically, the null and hypotheses are as follows Ho: µ = 28 ml/kg and Hi: µ ≠ 28 ml/kg (Sampling a Normal Distribution for the Mean µ) Assuming Roger calculates a P-value of 0.0088, does he accept or reject the null hypothesis?

Question

Total blood volume (in ml) per body weight (in kg) is important in medical research.  For healthy adults, the red blood cell volume mean is about µ = 28 ml/kg with a standard deviation of 4.75ml/kg.  Red blood cells volume that is too low or too high can indicate a medical problem.    Suppose he does a hypothesis test with a significance level of 0.01

Roger’s null hypothesis is that his blood tests are normal and that his alternative hypothesis is that something is wrong.  Symbolically, the null and hypotheses are as follows

                        Ho: µ = 28 ml/kg and Hi: µ ≠ 28 ml/kg

(Sampling a Normal Distribution for the Mean µ)

Assuming Roger calculates a P-value of 0.0088, does he accept or reject the null hypothesis?
