The choice of one-tailed or two-tailed tests follows the logic of the hypothesis that is being tested! The one-tailed test, if appropriate, will be more powerful.
The hypothesis test for a multiple regression is typically two-tailed. This is because it tests whether the coefficients are significantly different from zero, allowing for the possibility of both positive and negative effects. A one-tailed test could be used if there is a specific directional hypothesis, but this is less common in practice.
When the alternative hypothesis is non-directional, we use a two-tailed test. Example: H0: mean = 50 Ha : mean not equal to 50 Here is a directional hypothesis that would use a one-tailed test. H0: mean = 40 Ha : mean > 40 or H0: mean = 40 Ha: mean < 40

A one tailed test allows you to test a one-sided hypothesis.
They are used to test hypothesis such as the mean is some value where you do not know if otherwise the mean is less or more.
Two-tailed test Hi: µM-µF = 0 Because if it turns out that Hi: µM-µF ≠0, the difference may be greater or smaller
A two-tailed hypothesis test is a statistical method used to determine if there is a significant difference between a sample mean and a population mean, or between two sample means, in either direction. It tests the null hypothesis against the alternative hypothesis, which posits that the true parameter is not equal to the hypothesized value. This type of test considers both tails of the distribution, allowing for the possibility of finding evidence for differences that could occur in either direction. It is commonly employed when researchers are open to the possibility of an effect in either direction.
A two-tailed test is both, upper and lower tailed!
A two tailed fox is real if you type in two tailed fox on google then you will see pictures of two tailed foxes.
There are several types of hypothesis testing, primarily categorized into two main types: parametric and non-parametric tests. Parametric tests, such as t-tests and ANOVA, assume that the data follows a specific distribution (usually normal). Non-parametric tests, like the Mann-Whitney U test or the Kruskal-Wallis test, do not rely on these assumptions and are used when the data doesn't meet the criteria for parametric testing. Additionally, hypothesis tests can be classified as one-tailed or two-tailed, depending on whether the hypothesis specifies a direction of the effect or not.
