Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Determine the Critical Value
In a left-tailed test with a significance level of \( \alpha = 0.10 \), we need to find the critical value \( z_{\alpha} \) that corresponds to the cumulative probability of \( 0.10 \).
Using the standard normal distribution, we find that:
\[
P = \Phi(Z_{end}) - \Phi(Z_{start}) = \Phi(0.0) - \Phi(-\infty) = 0.5
\]
This indicates that the cumulative probability up to \( z = 0.0 \) is \( 0.5 \).
Step 2: Identify the Critical Value
The critical value for this left-tailed test is:
\[
z_{\alpha} = 0.0
\]
Final Answer
The critical value for the left-tailed test at a significance level of \( 0.10 \) is \( \boxed{0.0} \).
