\n" ); document.write( "Answer: d. Reject the null hypothesis\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Reason:
\n" ); document.write( "The critical values are z = +/- 1.96 aka \"z+=+%22%22+%2B-+1.96\"
\n" ); document.write( "This breaks down into z = -1.96 and z = 1.96\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If the test statistic is between those critical values, then we aren't in the rejection region.
\n" ); document.write( "Otherwise if z < -1.96 or z > 1.96, then we are in the rejection region.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In this case, the test statistic z = 2.33 is to the right of the critical value 1.96
\n" ); document.write( "We're in the rejection region for this two-tailed test and we therefore reject the null.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
