6.42 Finding significant z-scores. Consider a two-sided significance test for a population mean.

  1. (a) Sketch a Normal curve similar to that shown in Figure 6.9 (page 367), but find the value z such that P = 0.05.

  2. (b) Based on your curve from part (a), what values of the z statistic are statistically significant at the α = 0.05 level?
