The onesample t statistic for testing the hypotheses below f
The one-sample t statistic for testing the hypotheses below from a sample of n = 29 observations has the value t = 1.59.
Ho: ? = 0
Ha: ? > 0
(a) What are the degrees of freedom for this statistic?
df =
(b) Give the two critical values t * from Table C that bracket t. (Use 3 decimal places.)
< t <
What are the one-sided P-values for these two entries?
< P-value <
(c) Is the value t = 1.59 significant at the 5% level?
Yes No
Is it significant at the 1% level?
Yes No
Solution
df = 28
Critical value t at 0.05 level = 1.7011 (for one tailed)
P values are 0
c) p value for t = 1.59
is 0.0615
As p value >0.05
accept null hypothesis.
At 0.01% level also p >0.01, hence not significant.
