Designing a Test
The test procedure is designed in such a way that the probability
of the Type I error occurring is contained within a specified, small
value
For every test, we choose a test statistic that provides the
relationship between an estimator and the parameter about
which hypotheses are proposed. The distribution of the test
statistic will be known
Designing the test consists of identifying the Critical Region (CR):
the set of observed values of the test statistic that will lead to
rejection of the null hypothesis

The test statistic will be the same for all three cases; however the
location of the critical region will differ

Now let's look at an another example of a
hypothesis test.
Please look at the next "Practice" module
