Complete parts (a) through (c) below:
(a) Determine the critical value(s) for a right-tailed test of a population mean at the α = 0.05 level of significance with 15 degrees of freedom.
(b) Determine the critical value(s) for a left-tailed test of a population mean at the α = 0.05 level of significance based on a sample size of n = 10.
(c) Determine the critical value(s) for a two-tailed test of a population mean at the α = 0.01 level of significance based on a sample size of n = 11.

Transcribed Image Text:This is a T-Distribution Table showing the area in the right tail. It is typically used in statistical analyses to determine the critical t-values for different confidence levels and degrees of freedom.
### Structure of the Table:
- **Rows**: Represent the degrees of freedom (df), ranging from 1 to 1000.
- **Columns**: Represent different significance levels corresponding to the area in the right tail:
- 0.25
- 0.20
- 0.15
- 0.10
- 0.05
- 0.025
- 0.02
- 0.01
- 0.005
- 0.0025
- 0.001
- 0.0005
### Explanation:
- As the degrees of freedom increase, the t-values generally decrease, converging towards a normal distribution curve.
- Each cell in the table provides the t-value for the specified degree of freedom and significance level.
### Usage:
The table is integral in hypothesis testing, particularly in t-tests involving small sample sizes:
- **Step 1**: Determine the degrees of freedom for your test.
- **Step 2**: Identify the significance level for your test.
- **Step 3**: Locate the intersection of the respective row and column to find the critical t-value.
This table assists in deciding whether to accept or reject the null hypothesis.
