Question

The mean number of rushing yards for one NFL team was less than 99 yards per game. If a hypothesis test is performed, how should you interpret a decision that rejects the null hypothesis?

Answer 1

Question options :

A. There is sufficient evidence to reject the claim

u < 99.

B. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim

u < 99.

C. There is not sufficient evidence to reject the claim

u < 99.

D. There is not sufficient evidence to support the claim

u< 99.

Answer:

B. There is sufficient evidence to support the claim

u < 99.

Explanation:

We construct the n*ll and alternative hypotheses to support our claim

The n*ll hypothesis :H0

The alternative hypothesis : Ha

N*ll hypothesis =H0: u=99

Alternative hypothesis =Ha: u<99

So if n*ll hypothesis (H0) u=99 is rejected, then we accept the alternative hypothesis that u<99

we can therefore have sufficient evidence to support our claim that u<99
