What is a Hypothesis?
Step 4. Taking into account the specified significance level, determine the
critical value (two critical values for a two-tailed test) for the test statistic from
the appropriate statistical table
Step 7. Using the decision rule specified in step 5, either reject H0 or reject Ha
Steps:
State the Null Hypothesis (H0: m ³ 3.0)
State its opposite, the Alternative
hypothesis first.
The term one-tailed signifies that all values that would cause to reject H 0, are
in just one tail of the sampling distribution
Two-tailed test is one in which values of the test statistic leading to rejectioin of
the null hypothesis fall in both tails of the sampling distribution curve
