  2. Identify the nature of the sampling distribution curve and specify the appropriate test statistic.

  4. Take specified significance level into account and determine the critical value (two for a two tailed test) for the test statistic from the appropriate statistical table.
  5. State the decision rule for rejecting Ho.
