What statement do we make that determines if the null

15) What statement do we make that determines if the null hypothesis is rejected?
A) Decision rule
B) Test statistic
C) Alternate hypothesis
D) Critical value
A decision rule is a statement of the specific conditions when we decide to either reject or fail to reject the
null hypothesis.
16) What is another name for the alternate hypothesis? 17) What is the probability of making a Type II error if the null hypothesis is actually true?

18) For an alternative hypothesis: µ > 6,700, where is the rejection region for the hypothesis test
located?
19) Which of the following is not one of the six steps in the hypothesis testing procedure?
A) Formulate a decision rule.
B) State the null and alternate hypotheses.
C) Select a level for β.
D) Identify the test statistic.
The Steps to conduct a test of hypothesis are: (1) State the null and alternate hypotheses; (2) Select the
level of significance, α; (3) Select the test statistic; (4) State the decision rule; and (5) Compute the value
of the test statistic and interpret the results. You do not control the probability of a Type II error, β.
