Answer:
Option D is correct
Explanation:
given that in a statistical test, we have a choice of a left-tailed test, a right-tailed test, or a two-tailed test.
In any hypothesis testing, we have null hypothesis as
H0: A test statistic = some value
against alternate
Ha: Ha can be either test statistic >, or test statistic < or test statistic not equal to.
If alternate is > we say right tailed, and if < we say right tailed and if not equal to we say two tailed.
Hence it is only the alternate hypothesis that determines the number of tails and whether left or right
Option D is right.
