Solution

Step 1 :Assume the sample is a random sample from a distribution that is reasonably normally distributed and we are doing inference for a sample mean. We are asked to find the area in a t-distribution above 2.3 if the sample has size $n=6$.

Step 2 :We need to use the survival function, which is 1 - CDF, to calculate the probability of a t-score being greater than 2.3. The degrees of freedom is 5, as it is calculated by subtracting 1 from the sample size.

Step 3 :Using the survival function with a t-score of 2.3 and degrees of freedom of 5, we find the area under the curve above the t-score.

Step 4 :Rounding the result to three decimal places, we get an area of 0.035.

Step 5 :Final Answer: The area in a t-distribution above 2.3 if the sample has size $n=6$ is \(\boxed{0.035}\).
