With α = 0.05, what is your hypothesis testing conclusion? The conclusion is made by comparing α and the found p-value. If the p-value is less than or equal to α, the null hypothesis is rejected in favor of the alternative. If the p-value is greater than α, we fail to reject the null hypothesis. The p-value was found to be 0.1676. This value is (A. less than or equal to B. greater than) 0.05. Therefore, we (A. reject B. fail to reject) the null hypothesis and conclude that there (A. is B. Is not) sufficient evidence to conclude that the difference between the population means is not equal to 0.
