In a statistical test, we have a choice of a left-tailed test, a right-tailed test, or a two-tailed test. Is it the null hypothesis or the alternate hypothesis that determines which type of test is used

Answer:

Alternate Hypothesis determines which type of test is used.                  

Step-by-step explanation:

We have find the hypothesis that helps us o determine the nature of test.

  • There are three types of test two tailed test, lest tailed test or right tailed test
  • It is the alternative hypothesis that states the nature of test.
  • The null hypothesis always state that the sample belongs to the population and always shows equality to the population.
  • The alternate hypotheses states that whether the sample belongs to the population or not and tell that there is a significant difference between the two variables.
  • For example, for a one sample test of population mean we have the following alternate and null hypothesis.
