A. Rearrange the following steps in hypothesis testing in chronological order by writing the letters from a (for the first step) to e ( for the last step) on the space provided before each item. 1. Compute the test statistic. 2. Compare the computed statistic with the critical value for the test statistic and make a decision. 3. Draw a conclusion or interpretation of the result. 4. Select the appropriate test statistic, set the significance level a, determine the critical value and what specific tailed test. 5. State the null and alternative hypotheses clearly. B. Read each statement carefully. Write T if the statement is correct; write F if it is wrong on the space provided before each item. 6. The first step in a hypothesis testing is to formulate the null and alternative hypotheses. 7. The alternative hypothesis is the hypothesis of "no difference". 8. Sample data are collected to serve as evidence of proof. 9. It is important to set a before the conduct of the research or the experiment because the Type I error is the more critical error to make. 10. For test statistics concerning means, we make use of either z- statistic or t-statistic depending on the conditions provided
