you want to test the claim that u = 3.5. Given a sample size of n = 43 and a level of significance of a = .05, when should you reject Ho? A) Reject Ho is the standardized test statistic is greater than 1.96 or less than -1.96 B) Reject if greater than 1.645 or less than -1.645 C) Reject if greater than 2.33 or less than -2.33 D) Reject of greater than 2.575 or less than -2.575

Solution

This is a two tailed test, as the claim has an = sign.

As alpha = 0.05, then using table/technology,

OPTION A: Reject Ho is the standardized test statistic is greater than 1.96 or less than -1.96 [ANSWER, A]
