To determine whether to accept a null hypothesis, we compare the obtained value (from the data) and the critical value (from the statistical table). If the obtained value is less than or equal to the critical value, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. If the obtained value is greater than the critical value, we reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, the choice of obtained versus critical values is the most relevant for this scenario.
