In a one-tailed test
A. The rejection region is in one of the tails. - correct
B. The rejection region is split between the tails. - this is a 2-tailed test
C. The p-value is always less than the significance level. -not always; the p-value is the probability of obtaining a result at least as extreme as the one that was actually observed, given that the null hypothesis is true.
D. The p-value is always more than the significance level. -not always; the p-value is the probability of obtaining a result at least as extreme as the one that was actually observed, given that the null hypothesis is true.
the answer is A
To conduct a one sample test of means and use the z distribution as ...
