Given below are two statements: Statement I: In two tail test, 2.5% of the area of the normal curve falls on the right of 1.96 standard deviations above the mean and 2.5% to the left of 1.96 standard deviations below the mean. Statement II: In one tail test, for testing the difference between large sample means, a z score of 1.64 is taken as Yardstick at the 5% level of significance. In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
For a standard normal variable, \(P(Z\gt 1.96)\approx P(Z\lt -1.96)\approx0.025\). At 5% one-sided significance, the critical magnitude is \(1.64485\approx1.645\) (often tabulated approximately as 1.64). Use the positive boundary for an upper-tail test and the negative boundary for a lower-tail test. Both statements are correct at the stated approximation.
