In a two-tailed sign test, k, which is called the test statistic, is a small number in the middle of positive signs and negative signs. In a two-tailed test, the hypothesis will be as follows: \[\begin{align} & {{H}_{0}}:\ M={{M}_{0}} \\ & {{H}_{1}}:\ M{{M}_{0}} \\ \end{align}\] If k is less than the critical value, then H0 is rejected.
