Question

g The critical value changes as ____ changes. All of the choices in this question are correct The Alpha Level The Obtained Statistic The Population Mean

Answer 1

The Alpha Level

Explanation:

The critical value is obtained by applying the alpha value to an area. For example if we choose the alpha level of 0.05 the critical value would be 1.96 for a two tailed test. But if the alpha is 0.1 the critical value would be 1.645 and similarly the critical value would be 2.58 for 0.01 alpha level.

The critcal value depends on the alpha level and is set accordingly depending on one tailed or tailed test. It does not involve the use of The Obtained Statistic or The Population Mean.
