Provide an appropriate response.Jenny is conducting a hypothesis test concerning a population mean. The hypotheses are as follows. Null hypothesis: population mean = 50 Alternative hypothesis: population mean > 50She selects a sample and finds that the sample mean is 54.2. She then does some calculations and is able to make the following statement:If the population mean were 50, the chance that the sample mean would have come out as big as 54.2 or bigger is 0.3. Do you think that she should reject the null hypothesis? Why or why not?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. Possible answer. No, she should not reject the null hypothesis. If the null hypothesis were true, the sample mean could easily be as big as 54.2 by chance. So the sample provides no evidence against the null hypothesis
