Determine the t critical value(s) that will capture the desired t-curve area in each of the following cases.

a. Central area = 0.95, df = 10
b. Central area = 0.95, df = 20
c. Central area = 0.99, df = 20
d. Central area = 0.99, df = 60
e. Upper-tail area = 0.01, df = 30
f. Lower-tail area = 0.025, df = 5

Answer:

a) Central area = 0.95, df = 10 t = (-2.228, 2.228)

(b) Central area = 0.95, df = 20 t= (-2.086, 2.086)

(c) Central area = 0.99, df = 20 t= ( -2.845, 2.845)

(d) Central area = 0.99, df = 60 t= (-2.660, 2.660)

(e) Upper-tail area = 0.01, df = 30 t= 2.457

(f) Lower-tail area = 0.025, df = 5 t= -2.571

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are to determine the t critical value that will capture the t-curve area in the cases below;

We can use the t-table for this by using the appropriate confidence interval with the corresponding degree of freedom.

The following are the answers obtained from the table;

a) Central area = 0.95, df = 10 t = (-2.228, 2.228)

(b) Central area = 0.95, df = 20 t= (-2.086, 2.086)

(c) Central area = 0.99, df = 20 t= ( -2.845, 2.845)

(d) Central area = 0.99, df = 60 t= (-2.660, 2.660)

(e) Upper-tail area = 0.01, df = 30 t= 2.457

(f) Lower-tail area = 0.025, df = 5 t= -2.571
