Consider the following hypothesis test:

H0:μ≤12H_0: \mu \leq 12H0​:μ≤12

Ha:μ>12H_a: \mu > 12Ha​:μ>12

A sample of 25 provided a sample mean xˉ=14\bar{x} = 14xˉ=14 and a sample standard deviation s=4.32s = 4.32s=4.32. If t0.05=1.711t_{0.05} = 1.711t0.05​=1.711, then which of the following is correct?

(A) The test statistic is defined as t=xˉ−μsnt = \frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}t=n​s​xˉ−μ​.

(B) The value of the test statistic is 1.31.

(C) At α=0.05\alpha = 0.05α=0.05, the null hypothesis is rejected.

(D) If the value of the t-statistic is less than tαt_\alphatα​, then null hypothesis is accepted.
