REJECTION REGION, also known as critical region is the set of all
values of the test statistics that causes us to reject the null hypothesis.
The NON – REJECTION REGION (or acceptance region) is the set
of all values of the test statistics that causes us to fail to reject the null
hypothesis.
The CRITICAL VALUE is a point (boundary) on the test distribution
that is compared to test statistics to determine if the null hypothesis
would be rejected.

According to a survey, the average daily usage of social media worldwide of global
internet users amounts to 142 minutes per day. Sofia conducts her own survey among her
10 friends to find out if their time spent on social media is significantly higher that the
global survey.
Before the survey she formulated the following claims.

Claim A. The average daily usage of social

media of her friends is the same as the global
average usage.

Claim B: The average daily usage of social

media of her friends is higher that the global
average usage.

Illustrate the rejection region given the critical value and identify if the t
values lie in the acceptance region or rejection region.

1. Critical t-value of 1.318, computed t- value of 1.1. the computed t-

value is at the _____ region.
2. Critical t-value of -1.671, computed t- value of -2.45. the computed
t-value is at the _____ region.
3. Critical t-value of 1.725, computed t- value of 2.14. the computed t-
value is at the _____ region.
