To determine the statistical decision, compare the given t-statistic value with the critical value. If the t-statistic is less than the critical value, reject the null hypothesis \( \mathrm{H}_{0} \). Otherwise, do not reject \( \mathrm{H}_{0} \).

Schritt 1: Gegebene Werte identifizieren

Die gegebenen Werte sind:

  • \( t_{\text{STAT}} = -1.64 \)
  • Kritischer Wert = -1.3253
Schritt 2: Vergleich der Werte

Vergleiche den \( t_{\text{STAT}} \)-Wert mit dem kritischen Wert:

  • Wenn \( t_{\text{STAT}} < \) kritischer Wert, dann lehne \( H_0 \) ab.
  • Andernfalls lehne \( H_0 \) nicht ab.
Schritt 3: Entscheidung treffen

Da \( t_{\text{STAT}} = -1.64 \) kleiner ist als der kritische Wert von -1.3253, lehnen wir \( H_0 \) ab.

Endgültige Antwort

Die Antwort ist C: Da der \( t_{\text{STAT}} \)-Wert kleiner ist als der kritische Wert, lehnen wir \( H_0 \) ab.

\(\boxed{\text{C}}\)
