Dwayne Kramer · Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to find critical values for the test given

a) df = 16: Alpha = 0.01 and right tailed

Critical value = 2.583

b) df = 23-1 = 22: alpha = 0.1 and left tailed

critical = - 1.717

c) df=31-1 = 30: alpha = 0.1: two tailed

t = 1.697

Critical values can be obtained from critical t tables.

Left tailed will have negative sign and right tailed positive
