Question 336916: 10. Which of the following statements is correct?
a. For a given level of significance, the critical value of Student's t increases as n increases.
b. A test statistic of t = 2.131 with d.f. = 15 leads to a clear-cut decision in a two-tailed test where α = .05
c. It is harder to reject the null hypothesis when conducting a two-tailed test rather than a one-tailed test.
If we desire α = 0.10 then a p-value of 0.13 would lead us to reject the null hypothesis.

Which of the following statements is correct?
a. For a given level of significance, the critical value of Student's t increases as n increases.
It increases for a left-tail test; It decreases for a right-tail test.
----------------------------------------------
b. A test statistic of t = 2.131 with d.f. = 15 leads to a clear-cut decision in a two-tailed test where α = .05
2*tcdf(2.131,1000,15) = 5%
Not a clear-cut decision
-----------------------------------------------
c. It is harder to reject the null hypothesis when conducting a two-tailed test rather than a one-tailed test.
The procedure is similar.
---------------------------------
If we desire α = 0.10 then a p-value of 0.13 would lead us to reject the null hypothesis.
No; since the p-value is greater that 10% you would fail to reject Ho.
