In a symmetric two-tailed construction, the significance level α\alpha is split equally between the two tails. Each tail receives α/2\alpha/2.

Conditions: The test is a symmetric two-tailed test.; The significance level is α\alpha.

Meet the concept

↗

The significance level α\alpha controls the chance of rejecting a true null hypothesis. It defines the probability of making a Type I error, which is rejecting H0H_0 when it is actually true.

Conditions: The test is conducted under the null model.; α\alpha is the pre-specified significance level.

Meet the concept

↗

The null hypothesis includes the boundary value. In the example with a population mean of 23, the null hypothesis is centered around or includes this specific value as the reference claim against which the alternative hypothesis tests for departure.

Conditions: The example uses a population mean of 23.; The null hypothesis is formulated to include this value.

Meet the concept

↗

The null hypothesis serves as the reference claim that includes the boundary value. In the example, it represents the status quo or the specific departure being tested against the alternative hypothesis.

Conditions: The population mean is 23.; The null hypothesis includes the boundary value.

A one-tailed test allocates the entire significance level α\alpha to its designated tail. Unlike a two-tailed test which splits α\alpha into α/2\alpha/2 for each tail, a one-tailed test places all of α\alpha in either the left or the right tail, depending on the direction specified by the alternative hypothesis.

Conditions: The test is one-tailed.; The significance level is α\alpha.; The direction is specified by the alternative hypothesis (<< or >>).
