This document discusses how to draw conclusions about a population mean based on a test statistic value and critical region. It provides examples of using z-tests and t-tests to either reject the null hypothesis or fail to reject it by comparing the computed test statistic to the critical value. Specifically, it shows that for a two-tailed test the negative of the test statistic is disregarded, and in a left-tailed test failing to reject the null hypothesis if the test statistic is greater than the critical value.

INTIBLE ESPIRITU SAGAYA AMANTE t- Critical Value z-test t-test
Negative of the computed z and t is disregarded when
comparing it to the critical value of z and t if the hypothesis is two-tailed test. Example 1: Compute for its value given the following information. Use a = 0.05. Interpret the result.
The computed z-value is 1.875 which
is greater than the critical value of 1. 645. Therefore, we reject the null hypothesis and support the alternative hypothesis. Example 2: Compute for its value given the following information. Use a = 0.01. Interpret the result.
The computed t-value is greater than
the t-critical value at a=0.01. Since we have a left-tailed test, our conclusion is that we fail to reject the null hypothesis. Thank You!!!
