Assume for a given study that the null hypothesis asserts the expected value of a phenomenon is 10. A research study results in a 95 percent confidence interval reported as [7.142, 9.865]. What decision should be made based on this confidence interval (for a two-tailed test with an alpha level of 0.05 or 5%)? Fail to reject the null hypothesis Fail to reject the alternative hypothesis Reject the null hypothesis Perform a hypothesis test before making a decision.

Suppose you want to test the claim that μ 1 < μ 2. Assume the two samples are random and independent. At a level of significance of α = 0.05, when should you reject H 0? Population statistics: σ 1 = 2.9 and σ 2 = 2.8 Sample statistics: x bar 1 = 28.85, n 1 = 35 and xbar 2 = 31.4, n 2 = 42 1) Reject H0 if the standardized test statistic is less than -2.575. 2) Reject H0 if the standardized test statistic is less than -1.96. 3) Reject H0 if the standardized test statistic is less than -1.645 4) Reject H0 if the standardized test statistic is less than -2.33.

Suppose we are testing the hypothesis $H_{0}: p=0.65$ versus $H_{1}: p \neq 0.65$ and we find the $P$ -value to be $0.02 .$ Explain what this means. Would you reject the null hypothesis? Why?
