the test will be for any possible value of
test statistic.

For example, using the last test we just

looked at, a left-tailed test, we would say:
If ZOBS < ZCRIT = -1.645, reject the null and
conclude the alternative; otherwise, fail to
reject the null.

The convention is generally to state where

the null would be rejected first, then
everything else after that.
