This question is on the relationship between confidence intervals and hypothesis testing. Suppose, you wish to use a random sample to conduct the one-sample two-sided t-test for the mean and test the following hypotheses:  H0: μ = 98.5 vs. H1:  μ ≠ 98.5, at the significance level of 0.01.  The 99% confidence interval for the mean calculated by using this sample is [85, 97]. Based on this confidence interval your decision will be (choose one answer):  Accept H0 Reject H0 None of the above

Question

This question is on the relationship between confidence intervals and hypothesis testing. Suppose, you wish to use a random sample to conduct the one-sample two-sided t-test for the mean and test the following hypotheses: 

H0: μ = 98.5 vs. H1:  μ ≠ 98.5, at the significance level of 0.01. 

The 99% confidence interval for the mean calculated by using this sample is [85, 97]. Based on this confidence interval your decision will be (choose one answer)

  1. Accept H0
  2. Reject H0
  3. None of the above



This question is on the relationship between confidence intervals and hypothesis testing. Suppose, you
wish to use a random sample to conduct the one-sample two-sided t-test for the mean and test the
following hypotheses:
HO: u = 98.5 vs. H1: u + 98.5, at the significance level of 0.01.
The 99% confidence interval for the mean calculated by using this sample is [85, 97]. Based on this
confidence interval your decision will be (choose one answer):
A. Accept HO
B. Reject HO
C. None of the above
