Problem: Determine the critical region and critical values for z that would be used to test the null hypothesis at the given level of significance.

a. H0: m = 25 and Ha: m ¹ 25, a = 0.10
This is the case of two-tailed test where rejection region for null hypothesis is on both sides of the mean i.e in both the tails of the distribution.
The value of alpha = 0.10 is distributed equally in two tails i.e. 0.05 in right and left tails each. The acceptance region is in between ...
