An emergency room nurse believes the number of upper respiratory infections is on the rise. The emergency room nurse would like to test the claim that the average number of cases of upper respiratory infections per day at the hospital is over 21 cases. Using the computed test statistic of 2.50 and the critical value of 2.33, is there enough evidence for the emergency room nurse to reject the null hypothesis?
Use the graph below to interpret the critical value. First select the appropriate test type (left-, right-, or two- tailed), then plot the points along the x-axis (for the critical value and test statistic), and use them to choose the appropriate interpretation.
