Answer:
[tex]\text{Critical Region} = z<-1.96\ \text{or}\ z>1.96[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
A test for the difference between two population means is to be performed.
As the population variances are known, the z-test will be used.
The hypothesis can be defined as follows:
H₀: μ₁ = μ₂ vs. Hₐ: μ₁ ≠ μ₂
Assume that the significance level of the test is, α = 0.05.
The critical region can be defined as follows:
The critical value of z for α = 0.05 is:
[tex]z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05/2}=z_{0.025} =-1.96\\\\z_{1-\alpha/2}=z_{1-0.05/2}=z_{0.975} =1.96[/tex]
Use a z-table.
[tex]\text{Critical Region} = z<-1.96\ \text{or}\ z>1.96[/tex]
