Homework Statement


This is not a homework problem, rather it is a conceptual question.

I am wondering if the below is an accurate illustration to explain why I reject the null hypothesis.
Such that
[itex]H_{0}: \mu=\mu_{0}[/itex]
[itex]H_{a}: \mu\ne\mu_{0}[/itex]

By relating the reasoning with the diagram attached.
1) [itex]\mu_{0}[/itex]is not in the confidence interval
2) [itex]p-value < \alpha[/itex]

Please suggest and comments :)

What exactly are you asking? As I understand it, you are asking if those two reasons are adequate to reject ##H_0##, in which case, it almost follows directly from the definition of the ideas of confidence intervals and significance tests that they are.
I don't think you are asking that. Would you please clarify what you are asking?
