Based on sample data,the 90% confidence interval limits for the population mean are LCL = 170.86 and UCL = 195.42.If the 10% level of significance were used in testing the hypotheses H₀: $\mu$ = 201 vs.H₁: $\mu$$\neq$ 201,the null hypothesis: A) would be rejected. B) would be accepted. C) would fail to be rejected. D) would become H₀: $\mu$$\neq$201

The null hypothesis is that the population mean is equal to 201. However, based on the given confidence interval limits, 201 is not within the range of values that we can be 90% confident the population mean falls between. Therefore, we would reject the null hypothesis at the 10% level of significance.
