The critical value of test 1 would be large.

The critical value of test 2 would be small.

Step-by-step explanation:

Following the t-distribution table, for a one-tailed test with 0.05 (5%) significance level, the critical value decrease with increase in sample size.

With a 5% significance level for test 1, the critical value would be large due to its small sample size.

With a 5% significance level for test 2, the critical value would be small as a result of it's large sample size.
