When computing a t-test, it is important to distinguish between directional and nondirectional hypotheses as the direction will determine the rejection regions. Describe how the rejection regions would differ according to the type of hypothesis you would use.

Then, explain how you would need to change the hypothesis so that it would be nondirectional. What happens to the rejection regions and why? Which of the two hypotheses do you think is more appropriate and why?
