For the chi-square goodness-of-fit test, the null hypothesis is rejected whenever: a. the calculated chi-square statistic is less than the critical value. b. the calculated chi-square statistic is equal to the critical value. c. the calculated chi-square statistic is greater than the critical value. d. the calculated chi-square statistic is not equal to the critical value.

In a goodness-of-fit test, the null hypothesis (no difference between sets of observed and expected frequencies) is rejected when the ________________. a. Computed chi-square is less than the critical value b. Difference between the observed and expected frequencies is significantly large c. Difference between the observed and expected frequencies is small d. Difference between the observed and expected frequencies occurs by chance

To test $H_{0}: \mu=80$ versus $H_{1}: \mu<80,$ a simple random sample of size $n=22$ is obtained from a population that is known to be normally distributed. (a) If $\bar{x}=76.9$ and $s=8.5,$ compute the test statistic. (b) If the researcher decides to test this hypothesis at the $\alpha=0.02$ level of significance, determine the critical value. (c) Draw a $t$ -distribution that depicts the critical region. (d) Will the researcher reject the null hypothesis? Why?
