Suppose the alternative hypothesis in a hypothesis test is "the population mean is greater than 60".
Comment: This implies the test is a right-tail test.
-----------------------------------------
If the sample size is 80, σ is known, and alpha = .01, the critical value of z is invNorm(0.99) = 2.3263
