values for a two-tailed test at a .01, .05, and .10 level of
significance.

20
___
___ ___

b. As the level of significance increases (from .01 to .10),
does the critical value increase or decrease?
c. As the degrees of freedom...
state the critical values for a two-independent same t-test
given the following conditions:
a. two-tailed test a=.01, total df=26
b. one-tailed test, lower tail critical a=.01,df=15 for each
group
c. two- tailed test, a=.05, n=12 in each group
d.one-tailed test, upper tail critical, a=.05 n for both groups
combined is 30
Consider using a one-tailed as well as a two-tailed test of a
null hypothesis regard- ing an estimated regression coefficient.
For the same significance level, which test is more stringent? In
other words, for which test does rejection of the null hypothesis
automatically imply rejection in the other test as well, but not
vice versa? Explain.
Q1. Define/outline the following:
a. the difference between a ‘one-tailed test’ and a ‘two-tailed
test’.
b. the importance of sample size in the context of OLS
regression.
*c. four different types of data structures and discuss their
potential usefulness and application in finance.
d. the OLS assumptions
e. Correlation is not causation. Briefly discuss.
(c. is the part I'm confused most about)
Identify the critical z values and the rejection region of the
following:
a) Right-tailed test with a = 0.05
b) Left-tailed test with a = 0.025
c) Two-tailed test with a = 0.01
d) a = 0.10 with HA : p < 0.26
1. Why would a researcher need to use a two-tailed test vs. a
one-tailed test?
2.A scholar tests the following
hypothesis: Females have a greater number of
delinquent peers than males. In her test, she
calculates a t value is -2.349. Why would it be
unnecessary to compare this test statistic to a critical t
value?
What is the p-value of a two-tailed one-mean
hypothesis test, with a test statistic of z0=0.27? (Do not round
your answer; compute your answer using a value from the table
below.)

1) For a two-tailed hypothesis using a z-distribution, find the
critical values (z-scores) that will give you a critical region
with an alpha of the following values:
a) alpha = 0.20
b) alpha = 0.10
c) alpha = 0.05
d) alpha = 0.01
e) alpha = 0.001
2) For a one-tailed hypothesis using a z-distribution, find the
critical value (z-score) that will give you a critical region with
an alpha of the following values:
a) alpha = 0.20
b) alpha...
