Find the critical value
a.
Answer to Problem 12E
The critical value
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
The given information is that, the level is 90% and the sample size is 6.
Conditions:
- When the required degrees of freedom is less than 200 and not listed in the degrees of freedom column of the Table A.3, then choose the next smaller number in the table.
- When the required degrees of freedom is, greater than 200, then use the z-value in the bottom row of Table A.3 otherwise use Table A.2.
Here the significance level is 0.10 and the degrees of freedom is 5
For two-tailed test, the
Critical value for
From Table A.3: Critical Values for the Student’s t Distribution
- Locate the value 5 in the first column of the table.
- Locate the value 0.05 in the first row of the table.
- The intersecting value of row and column is 2.015.
Thus, the critical value
b.
Find the critical value
b.
Answer to Problem 12E
The critical value
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
The given information is that, the level is 98% and the sample size is 12.
Here, the significance level is 0.02 and the degrees of freedom is 11
For two-tailed test, the
Critical value for
From Table A.3: Critical Values for the Student’s t Distribution
- Locate the value 11 in the first column of the table.
- Locate the value 0.01 in the first row of the table.
- The intersecting value of row and column is 2.718.
Thus, the critical value
c.
Find the critical value
c.
Answer to Problem 12E
The critical value
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
The given information is that, the level is 95% and the sample size is 32.
The significance level is 0.05 and the degrees of freedom is 31
For two-tailed test, the
Critical value for
From Table A.3: Critical Values for the Student’s t Distribution
- Locate the value 31 in the first column of the table.
- Locate the value 0.025 in the first row of the table.
- The intersecting value of row and column is 2.040.
Thus, the critical value
d.
Find the critical value
d.
Answer to Problem 12E
The critical value
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
The given information is that, the level is 99% and the sample size is 10.
Here the significance level is 0.01 and the degrees of freedom is 9
For two-tailed test, the
Critical value for
From Table A.3: Critical Values for the Student’s t Distribution
- Locate the value 9 in the first column of the table.
- Locate the value 0.005 in the first row of the table.
- The intersecting value of row and column is 3.250.
Thus, the critical value
