Answer to Question 1

A one-tailed univariate test is appropriate when the researcher has a directional hypothesis implying that an observed mean can only be greater than or less than a hypothesized value. Thus, only one of the tails of the bell-shaped normal curve is relevant. For example, the following hypothesis could be appropriately examined with a one-tailed test:

H1: The number of fast food restaurants within the 71201 zip code is greater than five.

A two-tailed test is one that tests for differences from the population mean that are either greater or less. Thus, the extreme values of the normal curve (or tails) on both the right and the left are considered. In practical terms, when a research question does not specify whether a difference should be greater than or less than, a two-tailed test is most appropriate. For example, the following hypothesis could be examined using a two-tailed test:

H2: The number of fast food restaurants within the 71201 zip code is not equal to five.

Answer to Question 2

Corporate advertising is an advertising message or advertising campaign that has the primary purpose of promoting the name, image, personnel, or reputation of a company.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
