Answer 1

At the level of 0.05% significance we can not reject the psychologist's claim. His claim is supported.

Explanation:

When a researcher undertakes a project to do research firstly he takes some random samples. Sample is definite a small group of numbers assume to represent the whole population. Suppose a researcher wants to do research on married couples to find the trend of divorce among them.
