Assume a significance level of
α=0.01
and 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
76
bpm. The hypothesis test results in a​ P-value of
0.0049.
 
 
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
greater than
α.
 
B.
Reject
H0
because the​ P-value is
less than or equal to
α.
 
C.
Fail to reject
H0
because the​ P-value is
less than or equal to
α.
 
D.
Fail to reject
H0
because the​ P-value is
greater than
α.
