rejection points in a z-test

do we have to memorize the critical points for 1, 5, and 10 significance level or we can see that in a z- table?

I have the same question. Has anyone met these problems during level 1 exam?

You should know (for a 2-tailed test):

  • 68% is 1_σ_
  • 90% is 1.645_σ_
  • 95% is 1.96_σ_
  • 99% is 2.58_σ_

If they want any other percentage, they’ll give you an excerpt from a standard normal distribution table.
