The test statistic measures how close the computed sample statistic has come to the hypothesised population parameter.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is true. The test statistic is calculated by comparing the sample statistic to the hypothesized population parameter, and determining the probability of observing the sample statistic given the hypothesis. The closer the sample statistic is to the hypothesized parameter, the higher the probability, and the higher the test statistic value.
