    Determining Which Tail Test To Perform

    Uploaded by

    BineilKcThapa
    The document discusses three types of statistical tests: two-tailed tests, right-tailed tests, and left-tailed tests. A two-tailed test is used when the alternative hypothesis contains "not equal to", resulting in critical values on both tails. A right-tailed test is used when the alternative hypothesis contains "greater than", with a critical value on the right tail. A left-tailed test is used when the alternative hypothesis contains "less than", with a critical value on the left tail. The document provides decision rules for each test and asks the reader to consider the alternative hypothesis to determine which test to use.
