In a hypothesis test to investigate whether a company's claim about the average value of 36 is correct or not, we calculated the test statistic to be -1.67 while the critical value read from the t-table is 1.33.

What is the correct decision to be made?

Select one:a. Reject the null, as 1.67 is more than 1.33b. Reject the null, as -1.67 is less than -1.33c. Do not reject null, since -1.67 is less than 1.33d. Do not reject the null, as 1.67 is more than -1.33
