B)Because the test statistic is less than the critical value, we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is no relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variables.
C)Because the test statistic is greater than the critical value, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is a relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variables.

When the test statistic is greater than the critical value in the context of hypothesis testing for a regression model, it indicates that the evidence is strong enough to reject the null hypothesis. The null hypothesis typically states that there is no relationship between the dependent and independent variables. Rejecting it suggests that there is indeed a relationship between them.
