one-tailed test
Definition:
An inferential statistic test where the direction of effect is taken into account: in the contrasting TWO-TAILED TEST one asks whether a sample is different (either bigger or smaller) from the POPULATION', in a one-tailed test one asks whether the sample is bigger or smaller - but not both at the same time!
