Consider a situation in which Jamal measures the resting heart rate of 16 individuals from a population that he thinks (based on published reports) has an average resting heart rate of 72 beats per minute. His sample has a mean of 75.2 with a standard deviation of 6.2 cm. Based on his t-test statistic, and using your table of critical t-values, which of the following P-value ranges matches the one for the t-value he obtains?

Given the information, we cannot calculate the exact P-value without the t-test statistic value. However, the question seems to imply that the result is not statistically significant since it does not provide a specific range that indicates significance (e.g., P < 0.05). Therefore, the correct choice is the one indicating a P-value greater than 0.05, suggesting that the difference between the sample mean and the population mean is not statistically significant.
