a) fail to reject the null hypothesis b)there is not sufficient evidence to support that the mean height of women is not 160 cm.

Work Step by Step

a) If the P-value is less than $\alpha$, which is the significance level, then this means the rejection of the null hypothesis. Hence:P=0.0614 is more than $\alpha=0.05$, hence we fail to reject the null hypothesis. b) Hence this means that there is not sufficient evidence to support that the mean height of women is not 160 cm.
