Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Determine the Critical Value
To find the critical value for a right-tailed test with significance level α=0.06, we need to identify the z-score such that the area to the right of this z-score corresponds to α. This means we are looking for the z-score where the cumulative probability is 1−α=0.94.
Step 2: Calculate the Cumulative Probability
Using the standard normal distribution, we can express the cumulative probability as:
P=Φ(Zend)−Φ(Zstart)=Φ(0.94)−Φ(−∞)
Since Φ(−∞)=0, we have:
P=Φ(0.94)≈0.8264
Step 3: Identify the Critical z-Score
The critical z-score corresponding to the cumulative probability of 0.94 is:
Zcritical=0.94
Final Answer
The critical value for the right-tailed test with α=0.06 is:
Zcritical=0.94
