Which of the following statements is correct?
A) For a given level of significance, the critical value of Student's t increases as n increases.
B) A test statistic of t = 2.131 with d.f. = 15 leads to a clear-cut decision in a two-tailed test where á = .05.
C) It is harder to reject the null hypothesis when conducting a two-tailed test rather than a one-tailed test.
D) If we desire á = 0.10 then a p-value of 0.13 would lead us to reject the null hypothesis.

The very least you should learn from the study of a subject is how to spell it. These questions are about statistics. "Statics" is a topic in basic civil engineering (mechanics of non-moving rigid bodies).
