A sample of n = 25 individuals is selected from a population with µ = 80, and a treatment is administered to the sample. Which outcome is expected if the treatment has no effect?     a. The sample mean after the treatment should be close to 80, leading a researcher to fail to reject the null hypothesis.   b. The sample mean after the treatment should be very different from 80, leading a researcher to reject the null hypothesis.   c. The sample mean after the treatment should be very different from 80, leading a researcher to fail to reject the null hypothesis.   d. The sample mean after the treatment should be close to 80, leading a researcher to reject the null hypothesis.
