(Use a comma to separate answers as needed. Round to three decimal places as needed.)
(c) Draw a t-distribution that depicts the critical region(s). Which of the following graphs shows the critical region(s) in the t-distribution?
A.
A symmetric bell-shaped curve is plotted over a horizontal axis. On the far right side of the graph, a vertical line runs from the axis to the curve. The area under the curve to the right of the vertical line is shaded.
B.
A symmetric bell-shaped curve is plotted over a horizontal axis. Two vertical lines, equidistant from the curve's peak at the center, extend from the axis to the curve on the far left and right sides of the graph. The areas under the curve to the left of the left vertical line and to the right of the right vertical line are shaded.This is the correct answer.
C.
A symmetric bell-shaped curve is plotted over a horizontal axis. On the far left side of the graph, a vertical line runs from the axis to the curve. The area under the curve to the left of the vertical line is shaded.Your answer is not correct.
(d) Will the researcher reject the null hypothesis?
A.
The researcher will reject the null hypothesis since the test statistic is between the critical values.

Solution :
= 100
= 104.4
n = 17
s = 8.7
This is the two tailed test .
The null and alternative hypothesis is
H0 : = 100
Ha : 100
a) Test statistic = t
= ( - ) / s / n
= (104.4 - 100) /8.7 / 17
= 2.085
p(Z >2.085 ) = 1-P (Z < 2.085 ) = 0.0534
P-value = 0.02534
p=0.0534 ≥ 0.01
b) = 0.01
The critical value for a right-tailed test is tc=2.921
c)
B.A symmetric bell-shaped curve is plotted over a horizontal axis. Two vertical lines, equidistant from the curve's peak at the center, extend from the axis to the curve on the far left and right sides of the graph. The areas under the curve to the left of the left vertical line and to the right of the right vertical line are shaded.
d)
C.There is not sufficient evidence for the researcher to reject the null hypothesis since the test statistic is not between the critical values.
