Zachary Franco · Answer 1

The critical value of t = 3.012

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution

Recall that:

Bruce a store owner put together information on random sales of = 14 days

A significant level of = 0.5%

The mean revenue per day = 65 dollars

Now,

We find he critical values using the partial t-table stated above

Thus,

The degree of freedom is given below:

n - 1 = 14

14-1 = 13

For a 0.005 level and right tailed test and with a 13 degree of freedom, the critical value of t = 3.012.
