Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The test statistic measures the difference between the sample data and the null hypothesis. It tells us how far away the sample statistics are from what we would expect if the null hypothesis were true. A smaller test statistic indicates that the sample is closer to the null hypothesis, while a larger test statistic indicates that the sample is further from the null hypothesis. Therefore, the statement is true.
