Explanation In hypothesis testing, the null hypothesis H generally represents the idea that there is no effect or no difference in this case, that the marketing campaign has no effect on sales. The alternative hypothesis H suggests that there is an effect in this case, that the marketing campaign has increased sales. The p-value is a measure that helps determine the significance of the results. A low p-value typically 0.05 indicates strong evidence against the null hypothesis, leading to rejection of H .

A Reject the null hypothesis because the p-value is greater than the significance level

B Fail to reject the null hypothesis because the p-value is less than the significance level

C Reject the null hypothesis because the p-value is less than the significance level

D Accept the null hypothesis because the p-value is equal to the significance level

E Fail to reject the null hypothesis because the p-value is greater than 0.05
