st: critical value

Dear Maarten,
I rechecked the critical value of z at 10% significance level, the critical
value is 1.645. While the z-value reported in estimation result is 1.7 which
is greater than 1.645. But Stata11 said it is insignificance . Could you
please tell me why?
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Lynn Lee

The area between the mean and 1.7 is not the correct area of the curve to
look at for your purpose. It should be discussed in your textbook what the
solution is.
