Suppose you are testing the null hypothesis that a population mean is less than or equal to 80, against the alternative hypothesis that the population mean is greater than 80. If the sample size is 49 and alpha = .10, the critical value of z is __.

Suppose the alternative hypothesis in a hypothesis test is: "the population mean is less than 60." The sample size is 305. The critical value of z is 1.96.

Assume the population has a normal distribution and the number of observations in a random sample is greater than fifty. If a z-test is used to test a null hypothesis about the population mean versus the alternative that the true mean is greater than that specified by the null hypothesis, what is the critical value for a one-tailed test? Assume the type one-error rate is 0.05. A) +2.052 B) +1.645 C) +2.576 D) +2.33
