A researcher performed a statistical test with alpha = .05. The test statistic obtained had a pvalue =.02. The test statistic in this study must be ____ the critical value

Solution

In critical value approach we reject the null hypothesis when test statistics value is greater than the critical value.

Since P-value (0.02) of the test is less that level of significance (0.05) so we reject the null hypothesis at 5% level of significance.

Since here we reject the null hypothesis, so The test statistic in this study must be greater than the critical value.
