Question

0:-/10 points DevoreStat97.?.031 My NotesAsk Your Teacher Determine the t critical value for a lower or an upper confidence bound in each of the following situations. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) (a) Confidence level = 95%, df = 5 (b) Confidence level-95%, df-20 (c) Confidence level 99%, df20 (d) Confidence level-99%, n-10 (e) Confidence level = 97.5%, df = 22 (f) Confidence level-99%, n-36 You may need to use the appropriate table in the Appendix of Tables to answer this question.

Explanation / Answer

a)

confidence level = 95%

df=5

From the t distribution table

Locate 0.05 along the column

Locate df as 5 along the row

Thus the t critical value for lower bound is -2.015 and for upper is 2.015

b)

confidence level = 95%

df=20

From the t distribution table

Locate 0.05 along the column

Locate df as 20 along the row

Thus the t critical value for lower bound is -1.725 and for upper is 1.725

c)

confidence level = 99%

df=20

From the t distribution table

Locate 0.01 along the column

Locate df as 20 along the row

Thus the t critical value for lower bound is -2.528 and for upper is 2.528

d)

confidence level = 99%

n=10

df=n-1=10-1 = 9

From the t distribution table

Locate 0.01 along the column

Locate df as 9 along the row

Thus the t critical value for lower bound is -2.821 and for upper is 2.821

e)

confidence level = 97.5%

df=22

From the t distribution table

Locate 0.025 along the column

Locate df as 22 along the row

Thus the t critical value for lower bound is -2.074 and for upper is 2.074

f)

confidence level = 99%

n=36

df=36-1 = 35

From the t distribution table

Locate 0.01 along the column

Locate df as 35 along the row

Thus the t critical value for lower bound is -2.44 and for upper is 2.44
