Definitions:

Significance Level

The threshold for rejecting the null hypothesis, representing the probability of committing a Type I error if the null hypothesis is actually true.

One-Tailed Test

A statistical test where the region of rejection is on only one side of the sampling distribution, used when testing for a direction in the relationship between variables.

Critical Value

A threshold value that defines the boundary or cut-off point beyond which an observed test statistic is considered statistically significant.

Type I Error

The error made when a true null hypothesis is incorrectly rejected.
