A professor wants to know if her introductory statistics class has a good grasp of basic math at the start of the semester. Six students are chosen at random from the class and given a math proficiency test. The professor wants the class as a whole to be able to score above 70 on the test. The six students get scores of 62, 92, 75, 68, 83, and 95. The professor has 90 percent confidence that the mean score for the class on the test would be above 70?

What is the critical value of t for a one tailed test for a sample of 10 participants if the alpha is set at .05
a 1.8333
b 2.021
c 1.711
d 2.145
What is the critical value of t for a one tailed test for a sample of 25 participants if the alpha is set at .05
a .677
b 1.711
c 2.357
d 2.145
Solution :
Given that,
sample size = n = 43
Degrees of freedom = df = n - 1 = 43 - 1 = 42
= 0.05
/ 2 = 0.05 / 2 = 0.025
t /2,df = t0.025,42 = 2.021
Critical value = 2.021
T
sample size = n = 10
Degrees of freedom = df = n - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9
= 0.05
t ,df = t0.05,9 = 1.8333
Critical value = 1.8333
sample size = n = 25
Degrees of freedom = df = n - 1 = 25 - 1 = 24
= 0.05
t ,df = t0.05,24 = 1.711
Critical value = 1.711
