If you use a 0.05 level of significance in a (two-tail) hypothesis test, what will you decide if
ZSTATequals=+1.69.
Determine the decision rule. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box(es) within your choice.
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
A.Reject H0 if ZSTAT<__or ZSTAT>+__.
B.Reject H0 if ZSTAT<__.
C.Reject H0 if ZSTAT>__.
D.Reject H0__<ZSTAT<__.
Solution
For a two tailed 0.05 test, using table/technology, we
OPTION A: Reject Ho if zstat < -1.960 or zstat > +1.960. [ANSWER]
**************************
Thus, if zstat = 1.69, we FAIL TO REJECT HO.
