Question

Which of the following is NOT true about the tails in a​ distribution?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is D: The inequality symbol in the alternative hypothesis points away from the critical region.

Step-by-step explanation:

We usually have a one-tailed and two-tailed tests. Examples of a one-tailed test are the left-tailed and the right tailed test. These tests are referred to as one-tailed tests because the critical region or rejection region is located in only one tail. The critical region of a left or right tailed test is that region that correlate with the rejection region and is usually located in extreme left or right tail. Furthermore, tails in a distribution are usually the extreme critical regions also known as the rejection regions which are bound by critical values. However there is nothing that suggests the statement in Option D when talking about tails in a distribution.
