te Ch 7.3 Review HW
Part 1 of 2
Find the critical value(s) and rejection region(s) for the indicated $\mathrm{t}$-test, level of significance $\alpha$, and sample size $\mathrm{n}$. Left-tailed test, $\alpha=0.10, n=13$
Click the icon to view the t-distribution table.

Answer

Final Answer: The critical value is \( \boxed{-1.356} \).

Steps

Step 1 :Given a left-tailed t-test with a level of significance of \( \alpha = 0.10 \) and a sample size of \( n = 13 \).

Step 2 :The degrees of freedom is calculated as the sample size minus 1, which is \( 13 - 1 = 12 \).

Step 3 :Look up the t-value associated with the given level of significance and degrees of freedom in a t-distribution table.

Step 4 :The critical value for this test is approximately -1.356. This is the t-value below which we would reject the null hypothesis.

Step 5 :Final Answer: The critical value is \( \boxed{-1.356} \).
