Step 1. Set up hypotheses and determine level of significance Ho: Ha: Should the alternative hypothesis be upper-tailed, lower-tailed, or two-tailed? α= Select the appropriate test statistic Insert Specific Formula (Consider sample size to determine Z-score or T-distribution) Step 3. Set up decision rule Step 4. Do NOT use your level of significance as a part of your decision rule. Be sure to use only the critical values found in your appendices. Critical values are based upon the type of test used, your sample size or degrees of freedom, your alternative hypothesis (upper-tailed, lower-tailed, or two-tailed), and your level of significance. When using a two-tailed test, be sure to include both positive and negative values of the critical value. Be sure to include the equal sign. For example, "Reject Ho if Z≥ 1.960." Compute the test statistic. Please show all computations. If you do not show your computations, you will not receive credit, even if your test statistic is correct. PROBLEM I. Lithium carbonate is a drug used to treat bipolar mental disorders. The average dose in well-maintained patients is 1.3 mEq/L with a standard deviation of 0.3 mEq/L.

Description: use the left pic to help solve the problem and round to second decimal place step 1 set up hypotheses and determine level of significance ho ha should the alternative hypothesis be upper tai 31297

Step 1.
Set up hypotheses and determine level of significance
Ho:
Ha: Should the alternative hypothesis be upper-tailed, lower-tailed, or two-tailed?
α=
Select the appropriate test statistic
Insert Specific Formula (Consider sample size to determine Z-score or T-distribution)
Step 3. Set up decision rule
Step 4.
Do NOT use your level of significance as a part of your decision rule. Be sure to use
only the critical values found in your appendices. Critical values are based upon the type
of test used, your sample size or degrees of freedom, your alternative hypothesis
(upper-tailed, lower-tailed, or two-tailed), and your level of significance.
When using a two-tailed test, be sure to include both positive and negative values of the
critical value.
Be sure to include the equal sign. For example, "Reject Ho if Z≥ 1.960."
Compute the test statistic.
Please show all computations. If you do not show your computations, you will not
receive credit, even if your test statistic is correct.
