A student studying the heights of NBA players wants to test the hypothesis

H_o: mu = 78 inches

H_a: mu > 78 inches

where mu is the mean height of NBA players.The students selects a sample of 40 NBA players and finds the sample mean to be 78.75 inches and the standard deviation of the sample to be 3.3874 inches.The student uses an alpha level of 0.05.The conditions for inference were met.Based on these data, the student will

a. Reject the null because the p-value is less than the alpha level

b. Reject the null because the p-value is greater than the alpha level

c. Fail to reject the null because the p-value is greater than the alpha level

d. Fail to reject the null because the p-value is less than the alpha level
