Left-Tailed Hypothesis Tests and CIs. If the assumptions for a nonpooled t-interval are satisfied, the formula for a (1 — α)-level upper confidence bound for the difference, µ1-µ2, between two population
For a left-tailed hypothesis test at the significance Level α, the null hypothesis H0:µ1 = µ2 will be rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis H0:µ1 = µ2, if and only if the (1 - α)-level upper confidence bound for µ1 - µ2 is less than or equal to 0. In each case, illustrate the preceding relationship by obtaining the appropriate upper confidence hound and comparing the result to the conclusion of the hypothesis test in the specified exercise.

- A hypothesis test produces a t statistic of t=2.01.If the researcher is using a two tailed test with x=0.05,how large does the sample have to be in order to reject the null hypothesis?arrow_forwardIf you test the (one sample) null hypothesis that the population proportion p ≤ 0.3 and you get the test statistic value of z = -0.98, then using a 5% ignificance level, Group of answer choices the alternative hypothesis looks believable. the null hypothesis looks believable. the null and alternative hypotheses both look believable. none of the above.arrow_forward
