Question 313768: based on the information below decide whether to reject the null hypothesis. For each give the z-score cutoff on the comparison distribution at which the null hypothesis should be rejected and give the Z-score on the comparison distribution for the sample score and the conclusion: There are four studies A-D each have a mean of 5 and an SD of 1, all have a sample score of 7. A & B have a p=.05 using a 1tailed test(high predicted) and 2 tailed test. C & D have a p=.01 using a 1tailed test(high predicted) and 2 tailed test.
If my math is right the cut off score is -2 ??

I can't tell where this problem is going.
You say you have both and right tail and a 2-tail test and p=0.05 for both!
I assume you p-value is the probability of test results being more extreme
than what your test revealed. But that p-value cannot be the same for a
right tail and a 2 tail test.
What am I missing?

Also, on a right tail test, a cut-off of z=-2 does not make much sense.
How did you arrive at that?
