Question 269117: Can someone please help with this question?
Determine the correct critical value(s) in each of the following situations. You may assume data sets are normally distributed.
A two-tailed test with alpha = 0.025. You may assume the value of alpha is known.
A left-tailed test with alpha = 0.10, unknown alpha, and a sample of size 35. You may assume the data is normally distributed.

Determine the correct critical value(s) in each of the following situations. You may assume data sets are normally distributed.
A two-tailed test with alpha = 0.025. You may assume the value of alpha is known.
-------------
Each tail will have (1/2)alpha of the population.
(1/2)(0.025) = 0.0125
The corresponding z-score is invNorm(0.0125) = -2.2414
Since it is two-tail there are two critical values:
z = +2.2414 and z = -2.2414
I used a TI-84 calculator to find invNorm(0.0125)
-----------------------------------------------------------

A left-tailed test with alpha = 0.10, unknown alpha, and a sample of size 35. You may assume the data is normally distributed.
invNorm(0.10) = -1.2674
--------------------------------
