Which of the following statements is false? a. When the alternative hypothesis is two-tailed, any hypothesis test is said to be a two-tailed test. b. When the alternative hypothesis is two-tailed, the null hypothesis is rejected for values of the test statistic located in either tail of that statistic's sampling distribution. c. When the alternative hypothesis is two-tailed, the rejection region is split between the two tails of the test statistic's sampling distribution. d. When the alternative hypothesis is two-tailed, the null hypothesis is rejected for values of the test statistic located in either tail of that statistic's sampling distribution and when the alternative hypothesis is two-tailed, the rejection region is split between the two tails of the test statistic's sampling distribution. e. None of these.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a two tailed alternative hypothesis, it involves the "not equal to symbol,≠ ". This can never be in the null hypothesis.

The curve is symmetrical and the rejection regions would be in the left and right tails

In order to reject the null hypothesis, the test statistic must be smaller than the critical value on the left tail or greater than the critical value on the right tail.

Therefore, the following statements are false

B. When the alternative hypothesis is two-tailed, the null hypothesis is rejected for values of the test statistic located in either tail of that statistic's sampling distribution.

D. When the alternative hypothesis is two-tailed, the null hypothesis is rejected for values of the test statistic located in either tail of that statistic's sampling distribution and when the alternative hypothesis is two-tailed, the rejection region is split between the two tails of the test statistic's sampling distribution.
