Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Comparing the level of significance to the confidence coefficient is not an appropriate approach for a two-tailed hypothesis test. The other options (comparing the confidence interval, p-value, or test statistic to their respective values) are all valid approaches for conducting a two-tailed hypothesis test about μ.
