From the t-table, read the critical value t(0.025; 12) — the value on 12 degrees of freedom with 0.025 in the upper tail. Give it to three decimals.

From the t-table, read the critical value t(0.025; 12) — the value on 12 degrees of freedom with 0.025 in the upper tail. Give it to three decimals.

Answer

2.179

Cells - t at 0.025 with 12 df · ±0.001 Row df = 12, column 0.025: 2.179. This is the multiplier for a 95 % interval on 12 df (0.025 in each tail). R: `qt(0.975, 12)` = 2.178813.
