### Sampling Distributions and Type I Error

#### b. Which sketch below shows the sampling distribution for the rejection region \( z < -1.645 \)?

- **Option A:**
  - Description: This graph displays a standard normal distribution with two tails, both extending beyond \( |z| = 1.645 \) on either side (left: \( z = -1.645 \) and right: \( z = 1.645 \)). Both tails have shaded regions, each labeled \(\frac{\alpha}{2}\), with rejection regions indicating \( H_0 \) rejection.

- **Option B (Correct):**
  - Description: This sketch illustrates a standard normal distribution with a single tail extending beyond \( z = -1.645 \). The left tail is shaded and labeled \(\alpha\), representing the rejection region where \( H_0 \) is rejected. Only one side of the distribution (left) is considered for the rejection.

#### What is the probability that a Type I error will be made for \( z < -1.645 \)?

- **Question:** 
  - Calculate the significance level (\(\alpha\)) that corresponds to \( z < -1.645 \).

- **Answer Input Box:**
  - A blank input box is provided for entering the value of \(\alpha\), to be rounded to three decimal places as needed.

### Detailed Explanation

#### Standard Normal Distribution Graphs

- **Graph A:** Represents a two-tailed test scenario.
  - **Sections:**
    - **Left Tail** (\( z < -1.645 \)): Shaded region marking \(\frac{\alpha}{2}\).
    - **Right Tail** (\( z > 1.645 \)): Shaded region marking \(\frac{\alpha}{2}\).
    - This structure implies that the null hypothesis (\( H_0 \)) can be rejected if the test statistic falls in either tail region.

- **Graph B:** Represents the correct one-tailed test scenario for \( z < -1.645 \).
  - **Section:**
    - **Left Tail** (\( z < -1.645 \)): Shaded region marking \(\alpha\). The null hypothesis (\( H_0 \)) is rejected if the test statistic is less than \(-1.645\).

### Conclusion

- **Selection**: Sketch B correctly illustrates the sampling distribution for the rejection region
