True

False

A.

Reject Ha

B.

Do not reject H0

C.

Reject H0

D.

none of these

Explanation / Answer

20) Rejection rule: If p-value is less than the significance level, we should reject the null hypothesis.

Option-C) Reject H0

21) Option-A) The sample population is approximately normal.

22) Option-B) False. Because degrees of freedom = sample size - 1.
