A simple random sample of size n=15 is drawn from a
population that is normally distributed. The sample mean is found
to be x=32.5 and the sample standard deviation is found
to be s=6.3. Determine if the population mean is
different from 26 at the α=0.01 level of
significance. Complete parts ​(a) through ​(d) below.

​(Round to three decimal places as​ needed.)
Part 3
​(c) State the conclusion for the test.
A.
Do not reject
H0
because the​ P-value is
less than
the
α=0.01
level of significance.
B.
Reject
H0
because the​ P-value is
greater than
the
α=0.01
level of significance.
C.
Reject
H0
because the​ P-value is
less than
the
α=0.01
level of significance.
D.
Do not reject
H0
because the​ P-value is
greater than
the
α=0.01
level of significance.
