When conducting a hypothesis test, what would it mean if the researcher obtains a negative test statistic?   The sample is too small. It’s very unlikely the results would have occurred just by chance alone. The sample statistic is smaller than the claimed population parameter. A mistake was made in terms of calculating the test statistic. The sample statistic is larger than the claimed population parameter.
