While conducting a one-sample z-test, researchers identified critical z values of 2.58 (two-tailed test, with = .01) and calculated a z-statistic of -1.32. What would be the appropriate hypothesis test decision? Reject the null hypothesis, because the test statistic is larger than alpha. Reject the null hypothesis, because the test statistic is in the critical region. Fail to reject the null hypothesis, because the test statistic is not in the critical region. Fail to reject the null hypothesis, because the test statistic is negative.
