A) Do not reject Dr. Cuttleman's claim since the test value -2 falls in noncritical region. B) Reject Dr. Cuttleman's claim since the test value -4 2.58. D) Reject Dr. Cuttleman's claim since the test value -4 falls in critical region. 3. In a particular city, the average annual salary for secretaries is $30,000. A sample of 50 secretaries from Company A shows an average annual salary of $28,000 with a population standard deviation of $3,000.
