The germination rate is the rate at which plants begin to grow after the seed is planted. A seed company claims that the germination rate for their seeds is 90 percent. Concerned that the germination rate is different than 90 percent, a botanist conducted a hypothesis test of significance and rejected his null hypothesis at a level of significance of 0.05. He then calculated a 95% confidence interval for the true
germination rate to be (0.8323, 0.8801).
Does the calculated confidence interval support his decision to reject the null hypothesis in the significance test? Justify.
Yes, because the hypothesized value of 0.90 is not included in the 95 percent confidence interval.
B No, because the hypothesized value of 0.90 is not included in the 95 percent confidence interval.
Yes, because the hypothesized value of 0.90 is included in the 95 percent confidence interval.
D
No, because the hypothesized value of 0.90 is included in the 95 percent confidence interval
E
Yes, because the confidence level of 0.95 is not included in the 95 percent confidence interval
