Explanation / Answer

From the statistical software output of probabilities corresponding to t statistic:

a) Degrees of freedom = n - 1 = 19 - 1 = 18

This is a right tailed test since the alternative hypothesis contains > sign. Hence,

p - value = P(t > 3.3) = 0.002

b) p - value = P(t > 1.6) = 0.074

Do not reject; not sufficient evidence; Option D

c) p - Value = 0.754

Do not reject; not sufficient evidence
