Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

After comparing the obtained value with the critical value, we need to make a decision about the null hypothesis. If the obtained value is more extreme than the critical value, we can reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, choice D is the best option. A statement of the null hypothesis (choice A) should have been made before conducting the hypothesis test. Setting the level of significance (choice B) is also necessary before conducting the test. Computing the test statistic value (choice C) is part of the hypothesis testing process, but it does not provide information about what decision to make regarding the null hypothesis.
