One-tailed test: Tests for an effect in a specific direction (greater or less).

Example: Testing if a new drug increases recovery rates compared to the standard treatment.


Two-tailed test: Tests for an effect in both directions (any difference).

Example: Testing if a new teaching method has any impact (positive or negative) on student performance compared to the traditional method.
