A. &#956; = 1,200 hrs B. &#956; &#8800; 1,200 hrs C. &#956; < 1,200 hrs D. &#956; > 1,200 hrs
15. What is the alternate hypothesis?
A. &#956; = 1,200 hrs B. &#956; &#8800; 1,200 hrs C. &#956; < 1,200 hrs D. &#956; > 1,200 hrs
16. What is the value of &#945;?
A. 0.010 B. 0.025 C. 0.050 D. Unknown
17. Which statistic can properly be used in this hypothesis test?
A. Z B. t C. Either D. Neither
18. What are the approximate critical values of the test statistic? Indicate two values.
A. -3.0 B. -2.0 C. -1.0 D. +1.0 E. +2.0 F. +3.0
