An end-to-end statistical test question (with 9 questions embedded within it; 1 pt. each)
- Determine the null hypothesis (multiple choice)
- Determine the alternative hypothesis (multiple choice)
- Select an appropriate level of significance (multiple choice)
- Determine the appropriate test and the reason for that test (multiple choice)
- Determine whether the test is one-tailed or two tailed and the reason for this (multiple choice).
- Compute the critical value based on an appropriate level of significance (numerical answer)
- Compute the appropriate test statistic (numerical answer)
- Determine the decision (multiple choice)
- Determine which assumptions may be violated (multiple choice)
