Q4_Output for Module 5. Identifying the Appropriate Rejection Region for a Given Level of Significance
What have you learned in this lesson?
- I learned how to identify the appropriate rejection region based on the given hypothesis test (left-tailed
test is always negative since it involves the inequality symbol ¿ , “less than” in the alternative hypothesis
and involves the left tail of the graph, right-tailed test is always positive since it involves the inequality
symbol ¿, “greater than” in the alternative hypothesis and the right tail of the graph, and two-tailed test
involves both the positive and negative values since two tails of the normal curve are involved and the
alternative hypothesis contains the “not equal to” sign, ≠). Alongside this, if population variance known
or unknown in finding the critical region (for normal distribution, use table for standard normal
distribution – z table and for t-distribution, use t-distribution table – use df = (n-1) as reference alongside
the corresponding α for each test type to find the critical value; note that H o is to be rejected if the
absolute value of the calculated statistics is equal to or greater than the critical value/s) and identifying
values of sample size n , and level of significance α in the problem. If the critical value/s and
appropriate rejection region/s has been determined, sketch the graph by means of locating the critical
value/s in the normal curve and then drawing a vertical line. Then, shade the region greater than or equal
to, less than or equal to the critical value or both (use hypothesis test as basis). Critical region or
rejection region means that all values under this region signifies rejection of the null hypothesis (values
NOT in the acceptance region).
