  1. When alpha is set at .05, the critical value is 1.96. Should the null hypothesis be retained or rejected? Explain why.

I'm having a hard time with this question. The z-score is 0.136 so because it doesn't fall in the area of rejection for the critical value would I accept it? In the example on this assignment It is given different data so it says to reject the null hypothesis that monica's score on the comprehension test is less than equal to the population's mean. So if I do accept the null hypothesis did I write the null hypothesis wrong? I went off the example
