A study claims that the average internet surfing time for college students is above 5 hours per day. The average hour from your sample came out as 5.8 hours per day with a p-value = 0.0001. The significant level is 5%.

a. 5.8 is larger than 5 so we accept the null hypothesis.

b. The difference in probability is so small almost negligible compared to 5%. Thus, can not reject the null hypothesis.

c. 5.8 is larger than 5 so we accept the alternate hypothesis.

d. 5.8 hours is overwhelming evidence, need to reject the null hypothesis in favor of alternate hypothesis.

Choose the correct answer.
