    This document explains how to determine if a statistical test is a left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed test. The type of test depends on the alternative hypothesis, with a left-tailed test rejecting the null hypothesis if the test statistic is less than the critical value, a right-tailed test rejecting if the test statistic is greater than the critical value, and a two-tailed test rejecting if the test statistic is either less than or greater than the critical value. The decision rule can be summarized as rejecting the null hypothesis if the test statistic is more extreme than the critical value.
