- QUOTE: The rejection region is the interval, measured in the sampling distribution of the statistic under study, that leads to rejection of the null hypothesis [math]\displaystyle{ H_0 }[/math] in a hypothesis test. The rejection region is complementary to the acceptance region and is associated to a probability [math]\displaystyle{ a }[/math], called the significance level of the test or type I error.
