Question

Imagine a researcher posed a null hypothesis that in a certain community, the average energy expenditure should be 2,100 calories per day. He randomly sampled 100 people in that community. After he computed the t value by calculating a two-tailed t-statistic, he found that the probability value was 0.10. Thus, he concluded:

Answer 1

Answer: I fail to reject the Null Hypothesis H₀ and conclude that average energy expenditure is 2100 calories per day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Null Hypothesis H₀ : average energy expenditure is 2100 calories per day

Alt Hypothesis H₁: average energy expenditure is NOT 2100 calories per day

now since

P-value (0.10) > ∝ (0.05),

then he should say;

i fail to reject the Null Hypothesis H₀ and conclude that average energy expenditure is 2100 calories per day.
