A pet store is selling a new drug that claims to prevent dogs from having the urge to mark their territory, thus making it less likely for dogs to urinate inside the house. To test the predicted decreased urge to mark territory, the new drug researcher gathered 8 dog volunteers and provided them with the new drug treatment. At the end of the three-week period where the dogs received treatment, each dog owner counted the number of times their dog urinated in the house. In the general dog population, the mean number of times dogs urinate in the house during a 3-week period is= 5. With higher scores indicating the dogs urinated in the house more often. The scores for the 8 dog volunteers are: 12, 4, 3, 0, 2, 0, 2, 1

With = .01, complete step 4 of the hypothesis testing procedure, what decision and conclusion should the researcher make?

Group of answer choices

The researcher should retain H0 and conclude that taking the new drug and does not decrease the urge to mark territory

The researcher should retain H0 and conclude that taking the new drug decreases urges to mark territory

The researcher should reject H0 and conclude that there is a positive correlation between taking the drug and decreased urge to mark territory

The researcher should reject HA and conclude that taking the drug decreases urge to mark territory

The researcher should reject H0 and conclude that taking the drug increases urge to mark
