Question

If the calculated value of \( |t|<t_v(\alpha) \) (critical value of \( t \)), then the null hypothesis:

• A. is rejected.
• B. is accepted.
• C. is neither accepted nor rejected.
• D. cannot be determined.

Hint:

The decision rule for \( t \)-tests depends on comparing the calculated \( t \)-value to the critical \( t \)-value at a given significance level.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

If the calculated \( |t| \) value is less than the critical \( t \) value, it means there is insufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, the null hypothesis is accepted.
