A research report lists the results from a t-test as follows: t (22) = 4.71, p < .05. From this report you can conclude that the researchers: made a Type II error did not have enough statistical power rejected the null hypothesis retained the null hypothesis

A college professor states that this year's entering students appear to be smarter than entering students from previous years. The college's records indicate that the mean IQ for entering students from earlier years is 110. Suppose that we want to sample a small number of this year's entering students and carry out a hypothesis test to see if the professor's statement can be supported. State the null hypothesis H0 and the alternative hypothesis H1 that we would use for this test.
