Question

reject or not state whether or not the null hypothesis should be rejected on the basis of the given ( p )-value.
part: ( 0 / 2 )
part 1 of 2
(a) ( p )-value ( =0.0258, alpha=0.01 ), one-tailed test
reject the null hypothesis
do not reject the null hypothesis

Explanation:

Step1: Compare P - value and significance level

In hypothesis testing, the decision rule is: if \(P-\text{value}\leq\alpha\), we reject the null hypothesis; if \(P - \text{value}>\alpha\), we do not reject the null hypothesis.
Here, \(P-\text{value}=0.0258\) and \(\alpha = 0.01\).
Since \(0.0258>0.01\) (i.e., \(P-\text{value}>\alpha\)).

Answer:

Do not reject the null hypothesis
