1.98 |
The 5% two tailed threshold value for t-tests depends on the degrees of freedom of the t-statistic.
A two tailed t-test is always of the form:
If for certian degrees of freedom 'df' the two tailed critical value is of the form |t?/2|<t or this can also be written as -t?/2<t< t?/2<t .
So, |t?/2|, -t?/2 and t?/2 .are all threshold values of the t-distribution for df degrees of freedom.
Thus, for the given question |1.98 |, -1.98 and 1.98 .are all threshold values of the t-distribution for given degrees of freedom.
