The t-chart only has certain values for degrees of freedom (n=1-30, 40,50,…,120, ∞). If the degrees of freedom you are looking for does not appear on the chart, go to the LOWER value on the chart. For example, if you have 47 degrees of freedom, use the corresponding t-values for 40 degrees of freedom. This is considered a “conservative solution.” Why do you think you would use the LOWER degrees of freedom and not the HIGHER value?
