If we tested at the = 0.01 significance level, we would H0 because the P-value (which is between 0.01 and 0.02) is = 0.01.

A P-value between 0.01 and 0.02 is greater than the significance level of 0.01. Since the P-value is greater than α, we fail to reject H₀. The correct comparison is “greater than.”
