(b) Suppose that the test statistic isz=2.36. Is this result significant at the 5% level?

No, because z < 1.645 and P > 0.05.No, because z > 1.645 and P > 0.05.Yes, because z > 1.645 and P < 0.05.Yes, because z < 1.645 and P < 0.05.Yes, because z > 1.645 and P > 0.05.

(c) Is the result significant at the 1% level?

No, because z < 2.326 and P > 0.01.No, because z > 2.326 and P > 0.01.Yes, because z > 2.326 and P < 0.01.Yes, because z < 2.326 and P < 0.01.No, because z > 2.326 and P > 0.01.
