State whether the standardized test statistic z indicates that you should reject the null hypothesis. (a)z=1.296 (b)z=1.049 (c)z=−1.086 (d)z=1.531 |
-404z
z0=1.285 A normal curve is over a horizontal axis labeled z from negative 4 to 4 in increments of 1 and is centered on 0. Vertical line segment extends to the right of 0 from the horizontal axis to the curve at z 0 equals 1.285 . The area under the curve to the right of z 0 equals 1.285 is shaded. |
(a) For
z=1.296,
should you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis?
A.
Fail to reject
H0
because
z>1.285.
B.
Reject
H0
because
z<1.285.
C.
Fail to reject
H0
because
z<1.285.
D.
Reject
H0
because
z>1.285.
(b) For
z=1.049,
should you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis?
A.
Reject
H0
because
z>1.285.
B.
Fail to reject
H0
because
z<1.285.
C.
Reject
H0
because
z<1.285.
D.
Fail to reject
H0
because
z>1.285.
(c) For
z=−1.086,
should you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis?
A.
Reject
H0
because
z<1.285.
B.
Reject
H0
because
z>1.285.
C.
Fail to reject
H0
because
z>1.285.
D.
Fail to reject
H0
because
z<1.285.
(d) For
z=1.531,
should you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis?
A.
Fail to reject
H0
because
z<1.285.
B.
Reject
H0
because
z>1.285.
C.
Reject
H0
because
z<1.285.
D.
Fail to reject
H0
because
z>1.285.
If the test statistic is greater than the critical value z0 = 1.285, we reject the null hypothesis.
If the test statistic is less than the critical value z0 = 1.285, we fail to reject the null hypothesis.
(a) For z=1.296,
D. Reject H0 because z > 1.285.
(b) For z = 1.049,
B. Fail to reject H0 because z < 1.285.
(c) For z=−1.086,
should you reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis?
D. Fail to reject H0 because z < 1.285.
(d) For z=1.531,
B. Reject H0 because z > 1.285.
