Suppose a study was done to determine if the average amount of sleep that students get the day before an exam is less than 6 hours.An SRS of 100 students from a university was taken and a mean of 5.5 hours was computed from the sample.The figure below provides the results of the analysis.

Based on the results,the null hypothesis would ______ at the .10 significance level. A) be rejected B) not be rejected Based on the results,the null hypothesis would ______ at the .10 significance level.

A) be rejected
B) not be rejected

Null Hypothesis

A hypothesis that suggests there is no statistical significance in the given set of observations, often denoted as H0 and used as a default hypothesis to be tested.

Significance Level

A threshold chosen by the researcher which denotes the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is actually true, often denoted as alpha.

SRS

A simple random sample, which is a subset of a statistical population in which each member of the subset has an equal probability of being chosen.

  • Investigate the critical role the significance level (alpha) plays in the process of hypothesis testing.
