Section 7.3 Objectives
Find critical values in a t-distribution
Use the t-test to test a mean μ when σ is not known
Use technology to find P-values and use them with a t-test to test a mean μ when σ is not known

Finding Critical Values in a t-Distribution
Identify the level of significance .
Identify the degrees of freedom d.f. = n – 1.
Find the critical value(s) using Table 5 in Appendix B in the row with n – 1 degrees of freedom. If the hypothesis test is
left-tailed, use “One Tail, ” column with a negative sign,
right-tailed, use “One Tail, ” column with a positive sign,
two-tailed, use “Two Tails, ” column with a negative and a positive sign.

Example: Finding Critical Values for t
Find the critical value t0 for a left-tailed test given
= 0.05 and n = 21.
Solution:
The degrees of freedom are
d.f. = n – 1 = 21 – 1 = 20.
Use Table 5.
Look at α = 0.05 in the “One
Tail, ” column.
Because the test is left-tailed, the critical value is negative.
So, t0 = – 1.725.

Example: Finding Critical Values for t
Find the critical value t0 for a right-tailed test given
= 0.01 and n = 17.
Solution:
The degrees of freedom are
d.f. = n – 1 = 17 – 1 = 16
