If the critical region for a hypothesis test is F > 9.48773 and the computed value of F from the data is 0.86, which of the following is correct?
A) The null hypothesis should be rejected.
B) The alternative hypothesis is two-tailed.
C) The significance level is given by the area to the right of 9.48773 under the appropriate F-distribution.
D) The significance level is given by the area to the left of 9.48773 under the appropriate F-distribution

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The significance level in hypothesis testing is determined by the area under the distribution curve that corresponds to the critical region. Since the critical region is defined by F > 9.48773, the significance level is given by the area to the right of 9.48773 under the F-distribution.
