Explain the Logic of Hypothesis Testing
-Suppose you want to test the claim that $\mu = 3.5$ . Given a sample size of $\mathrm { n } = 32$ and a level of significance of $\alpha = 0.01$ , when should you reject $\mathrm { H } _ { 0 }$ ?

• A) Reject \(\mathrm { H } _ { 0 }\) if the standardized test statistic is greater than \(2.575\) or less than \(- 2.575\).
• B) Reject \(\mathrm { H } _ { 0 }\) if the standardized test statistic is greater than \(2.33\) or less than \(- 2.33\).
• C) Reject \(\mathrm { H } _ { 0 }\) if the standardized test statistic is greater than \(1.645\) or less than \(- 1.645\)
• D) Reject \(\mathrm { H } _ { 0 }\) if the standardized test statistic is greater than \(1.96\) or less than \(- 1.96\)
