B) are each viewed as a not statistically significant result
C) are more than the critical value
D) are correctly described by "are said to lie in the acceptance region" and "are each viewed as a not statistically significant result"
E) are correctly described by neither "are said to lie in the acceptance region" nor "are each viewed as a not statistically significant result"

Numerical values of a test statistic for which  is not rejected:
A) are said to lie in the acceptance region 
B) are each viewed as a not statistically significant result 
C) are more than the critical value 
D) are correctly described by "are said to lie in the acceptance region" and "are each viewed as a not statistically significant result" 
E) are correctly described by neither "are said to lie in the acceptance region" nor "are each viewed as a not statistically significant result"

When a test statistic falls within the acceptance region (also known as the non-rejection region), the null hypothesis is not rejected at the chosen level of significance. This means that the evidence does not strongly support the alternative hypothesis and the result is not statistically significant. Therefore, both statements "are said to lie in the acceptance region" and "are each viewed as a not statistically significant result" are correct.
