for a two-tailed alternative hypothesis H0: p = .5 HA: p <> .5 Reject the null hypothesis if the computed test statistic is less than -1.96 or more than 1.96 P(Z # a) = α, i.e., F(a) = α for a one-tailed alternative that involves a < sign. Note that a is a negative number. H0: p = .5 HA: p < .5 Reject the null hypothesis if the
