The critical region of a sampling distribution is the area that includes the unlikely sample outcomes.
The critical Z values are the areas under the standard normal curve.
For one-tailed critical values, the area is only on one side and the whole value of
For two-tailed critical values, the area is equally divided on both the sides and the value of
