Without seeing the actual numerical data, it is impossible to know the exact results of the test. However, based on the information provided, we can conclude that a hypothesis test was conducted with a one-tailed test at an alpha level of 0.05. The fact that the question asks specifically about H₀ suggests that this was the null hypothesis. Since the question asks us to choose between rejecting, accepting, or retaining the null hypothesis, we can assume that a p-value was calculated and compared to the alpha level. If the p-value was less than or equal to 0.05, then we would reject the null hypothesis (choice A). If the p-value was greater than 0.05, then we would fail to reject the null hypothesis (choice C or E). The option of retaining H₁ (choice D) does not make sense, as this is not one of the hypotheses being tested.
