Consider a test of $\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : \mu = 85$ performed with the computer. SPSS reports a two-tailed p-value of $0.2714$. Make the appropriate conclusion for the given situation: $\mathrm { H } _ { \mathrm { a } } : \mu 85 , z = 1.10 , \alpha = 0.10$
A) Reject $\mathrm { H } _ { 0 }$
B) Fail to reject $\mathrm { H } _ { 0 }$

Question

Consider a test of $\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : \mu = 85$ performed with the computer. SPSS reports a two-tailed p-value of $0.2714$. Make the appropriate conclusion for the given situation: $\mathrm { H } _ { \mathrm { a } } : \mu > 85 , z = 1.10 , \alpha = 0.10$
A) Reject $\mathrm { H } _ { 0 }$
B) Fail to reject $\mathrm { H } _ { 0 }$

The p-value for a one-tailed test is half of the two-tailed p-value, which is 0.1357. Since 0.1357 > 0.10, we fail to reject $\mathrm { H } _ { 0 }$.
