IF x^2lt x^2 af, THEN BY PEARSON'S CRITERION , THERE IS NO REASON TO REJECT THE Select one: critical value critical area alternate hypothesis D null hypothesis right-sided critical area

The correct answer is D) null hypothesis.In Pearson's criterion, the null hypothesis is the hypothesis that there is no significant difference between the observed data and the expected data. In this case, the statement " " is a contradiction, as it implies that a value is less than itself, which is not possible. Therefore, there is no reason to reject the null hypothesis, as the observed data is consistent with the expected data.
