A toy store owner is interested in knowing, at the 5% level of significance, whether parents spend greater than $100 on toys per visit to her store or not. In this case, the owner has a null hypothesis that "parents spend exactly $100 on toys per visit to her store" and an alternative hypothesis "parents spend greater than $100 on toys per visit to her store." A sample is taken, and the t statistic is calculated as 1.7, which is smaller than the threshold value 1.96. Based on the statistical result, we should:

a) Fail to reject the null hypothesis.
b) Do not support the hypothesis.
c) Accept the alternative hypothesis.
d) Immediately take another sample.
e) Try to take another sample in another toy store.
