Finding Critical Values

Let us say that we can not find our Common Critical Value Table. What do we do?

90% Confidence Level

Step 1: Identify α

α = 100% - Confidence Level, 10%

α = .10

Step 2: Identify one tail (Right)

α / 2 = .10 / 2

= .05 for the right tail

Step 3: Identify the cumulative area for the right tail, excluding the left tail.

= 1 - .05

1.645 Z- score

Now Identify the following critical values:   za/2

      • 99%
      • 99.5%
      • 98%
      • 84%
      • 81%
