Assume a significance level of

α=0.05

and use the given information to complete parts (a) and (b) below. original claim:

lessless

than

51%

of adults would erase all of their personal information online if they could. the hypothesis test results in a p-value of

0.0148

a. state a conclusion about the null hypothesis. (reject

upper h 0h0

or fail to reject

upper h 0h0.)

choose the correct answer below.

a.

rejectreject

upper h 0h0

because the p-value is

less than or equal toless than or equal to

alphaα.

b.

rejectreject

upper h 0h0

because the p-value is

greater thangreater than

alphaα.

c.

fail to rejectfail to reject

upper h 0h0

because the p-value is

greater thangreater than

alphaα.

d.

fail to rejectfail to reject

upper h 0h0

because the p-value is

less than or equal toless than or equal to

alphaα.

b. without using technical terms, state a final conclusion that addresses the original claim. which of the following is the correct conclusion?

a.
