Find the P-value for the hypothesis test with a standardized test statistic z. Decide whether toreject the null hypothesis for the level of significance α.a. Left-tailed test, z = -1.32, α = 0.10b. Right-tailed test, z = 2.46, α = 0.01c. Two-tailed test, z = -1.68, α = 0.05

Answer:

1.) We don't reject the null

2.) We reject the Null

3.) We do not reject the null

Explanation:

Obtaining p values using test statistic:

Given that ; we have a standardized test statistic and α - values ;

Let's define the decision region :

If Pvalue < α ; Reject H0 ; otherwise, fail to reject H0

A.)

Left tail , Z = - 1.32 ; α = 0.10

We can use the Pvalue calculator from Z score :

Pvalue = 0.934

Pvalue > α ; Hence, we fail to reject the null, H0

B.)

Right-tailed test, z = 2.46, α = 0.01

Pvalue from Zscore calculator ;

Pvalue = 0.0069

Pvalue < α ; Hence, we reject the null, H0

C.)

Two-tailed test, z = -1.68, α = 0.05

Pvalue from Zscore calculator ;

Pvalue = 0.093

Pvalue > α ; Hence, we fail to reject the null, H0
