Assume That a 99% Confidence Interval for the Mean Is $\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : \mu =$

Multiple Choice

Assume that a 99% confidence interval for the mean is (11.5, 13.0) . Then a hypothesis test of $\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : \mu =$ $12.0 \text { at } a = 0.01$ would result in

A) Accepting the null hypothesis because 12.0 is less than 13.0
B) Accepting the null hypothesis because 12.0 is between 11.5 and 13.0
C) Rejecting the null hypothesis if because 12.0 is more than 11.5
D) There is insufficient information to make any conclusions about the hypothesis test
