A one tailed test :

  • A.cannot be used in nominal distribution
  • B.is non-directional
  • C.is directional
  • D.is based on normal distribution only

Answer: C

A one tailed test is directional.

In a one-tailed test the alternative hypothesis states the direction of the difference, for example \(H_{1}: \mu \gt \mu_{0}\) or \(H_{1}: \mu \lt \mu_{0}\), and the whole rejection region lies in one tail of the sampling distribution.

A two-tailed test is the non-directional one, with \(H_{1}: \mu \neq \mu_{0}\) and rejection regions in both tails. One-tailed tests are not limited to the normal distribution: t, F and chi-square tests can also be one-tailed.
