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 (17.0, 19.0) . Then a hypothesis test of $\mathrm { H } _ { 0 } : \mu =$ $16.0 \text { at } a = 0.01$ would result in

A) Rejecting the null hypothesis because 16.0 is less than 17.0
B) Accepting the null hypothesis because 16.0 is less than 19.0
C) Accepting the null hypothesis because 19.0 is more than 17.0
D) There is insufficient information to make any conclusions about the hypothesis test
