WHAT DOES ONE-TAILED MEAN IN ENGLISH?

One- and two-tailed tests

In statistical significance testing, a one-tailed test or two-tailed test are alternative ways of computing the statistical significance of a data set in terms of a test statistic, depending on whether only one direction is considered extreme or both directions are considered equally likely. Alternative names are one-sided and two-sided tests; the terminology "tail" is because the extremes of distributions are often small, as in the normal distribution or "bell curve", pictured above right. If the test statistic is always positive, only the one-tailed test is generally applicable, while if the test statistic can assume positive and negative values, both the one-tailed and two-tailed test are of use.
