Explain the Logic of Hypothesis Testing
-Suppose you want to test the claim that $\mu \leq 25.6$ . Given a sample size of $n = 59$ and a level of significance of $\alpha = 0.1$ , when should you reject $\mathrm { H } _ { 0 }$ ?

• A) Reject \(\mathrm { H } _ { 0 }\) if the standardized test statistic is greater than 1.28.
• B) Reject \(\mathrm { H } _ { 0 }\) if the standardized test statistic is greater than \(2.575\).
• C) Reject \(\mathrm { H } _ { 0 }\) if the standardized test statistic is greater than \(1.645\).
• D) Reject \(\mathrm { H } _ { 0 }\) if the standardized test statistic is greater than \(1.96\).
