SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on determining the correct quantile for one-sided hypothesis tests, specifically for greater than scenarios. Participants emphasize the importance of using the standard Normal Table to find the appropriate quantiles corresponding to a given level of significance. The conversation highlights the need for clarity in selecting the correct option from multiple choices provided in the context of hypothesis testing.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of one-sided hypothesis tests
  • Familiarity with significance levels in statistical testing
  • Knowledge of standard Normal Tables
  • Basic concepts of quantiles in statistics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to interpret standard Normal Tables for hypothesis testing
  • Learn about calculating significance levels in one-sided tests
  • Explore the implications of selecting incorrect quantiles in hypothesis testing
  • Study the differences between one-sided and two-sided hypothesis tests
USEFUL FOR

Statisticians, data analysts, and researchers involved in hypothesis testing and statistical analysis will benefit from this discussion.

Consider a one-sided (greater than) hypothesis tests. For a given level of significance we can find the quantile which satisfies

From the standard Normal Table, find the approximate quantiles for and and indicate which of the following statements is correct.Select one:




Is it the second option?
