A) We reject H₀ and conclude there is very strong evidence that D₁ is shifted to the right or left of D₂.
B) We reject H₀ and conclude there is very strong evidence that D₁ is shifted to the left of D₂.
C) We failed to reject H₀ and conclude there is not sufficient evidence that D₁ is shifted to the left of D₂.
D) We failed to reject H₀ and conclude there is not sufficient evidence to conclude that D₁ is not shifted to the right or left of D₂.
