Let the test statistic Z have a standard normal distribution (ie. Z~N(0,1)) when H o is
true. Give the significance level for each of the following situations:

a.) Ho: > o, rejection region Z > 3.1

=P ( Z >3.1 )=1 ( 3.1 )=.001=0.1

b.) Ho: < o, rejection region Z <-1.96

=P ( Z <1.96 )= (1.96 ) =.025=2.5

c.) Ho: = o, rejection region Z > 2.5.or Z<-2.5

=P ( Z >2.5 ) + P ( Z <2.5 )=1 ( 2.5 ) + (2.5 )=0.0062+0.0062=0.0124=1.24
