The t-value of 1.73 falls within the range of values that would occur under the null hypothesis if it were true, as determined by the p level of 0.05. Therefore, we do not have sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we should select choice B, which is to fail to reject the null hypothesis.
