Using a t-distribution calculator and finding the p-value, the correct option regarding the conclusion is given by:
a) the p-value is 0.02. We reject h0 at the 5% significance level because the p-value 0.02 is less than 0.05.
<h3>What is the relation between the p-value and the conclusion?</h3>It also involves the significance level, as follows.
- If the p-value is less than the significance level, we reject the null hypothesis
.
- If it is more, we do not reject.
In this problem, a t-distribution calculator for a right-tailed with <em>t = 2.15 and 25 - 1 = 24 df</em> is used to find a p-value of 0.02.
It is less than 0.05, hence option a is correct.

Given parameters:
Current population = 530,300 people
Growth rate = 0.8% per year
Unknown
Population in 15 more years = ?
To solve this problem, we must compound the increase per year.
This implies that we treat the problem like that of a compound interest.
Since we know that population increases by 0.8%,
it is similar to 1 + = 1.008 increase
Now the population in 15years will be;
530300 x (1.008)¹⁵ = 597626 people
So, the population after 15yrs is 597626 people
