Question

What critical value of t* should be used for a 99.5% confidence interval for the population mean based upon a random sample of 18 observations?

Find the t-table here.

t* = 2.878
t* = 2.898
t* = 3.197
t* = 3.222
Table entry for p and C is the point t* with probability p lying to its right and probability C lying between -t*
and t*.
