  One-Sample Z: IQ
  Test of mu = 100 vs > 100
  The assumed standard deviation = 15
   
  Variable N Mean StDev SE Mean Z P
   IQ 14 105.643 10.352 4.009 1.41 0.080
  1.Fail to reject the null hypothesis, because the critical value is 1.96
  2.Fail to reject the null hypothesis, because the critical value is 1.65
  3.Reject the null hypothesis, because the critical value is 1.28
  4.Reject the null hypothesis, because the critical value is 1.65

Question 2

A two-tailed hypothesis test is performed at the  = 0.05 level. A critical value of z(0.025) = 1.96 is used to assess the significance of a test statistic, z = -1.81. Which is the correct inference?
