B) As α increases, the critical value becomes larger
C) As α decreases, the critical value becomes smaller
D) There is no relationship between α and the critical value
Description
The significance level (α) is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true. It defines the
threshold for the critical region of a test statistic. As α increases, the critical value, which is the cutoff
point for the test statistic to fall in the critical region, becomes smaller. This is because a higher α means
a larger area in the tails of the distribution is considered for rejecting the null hypothesis, thus moving
the critical value closer to the center of the distribution

10. Which critical value would you use for a two-tailed test with α = 0.01?
A) ±1.645
B) ±1.96
C) ±2.33
D) ±2.58
