\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This is a right tailed test. So we want to find the value k that makes P(Z > k) = 0.05 true.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Use a table like this one. Look at the bottom Z row. Then find the column that has \"0.05\" in the \"one tail row\". The intersection of the row and column leads to 1.645\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So 1.645 is the critical value we're after. That rounds to 1.65\r
