df If we are using the sample data from Exercise 1 in a t test of the claim that the population mean is greater than 90 sec, what does df denote, and what is its value?

t Test Exercise 2 refers to a t test. What is a t test? Why are the t test methods of Part 1 in this section so much more likely to be used than the z test methods in Part 2?

Confidence Interval Assume that we will use the sample data from Exercise 1 with a 0.05 significance level in a test of the claim that the population mean is greater than 90 sec.

Finding Critical t Values When finding critical values, we sometimes need significance levels other than those available in Table A3. Some computer programs approximate critical t values by calculating t = df ( e A 2 / df 1 ) where df = n 1 , e = 2.718 , A = z ( 8 df + 3 ) / ( 8 df + 1 ) and z is the critical z score. Use this approximation to find the critical t score corresponding to n = 150 and a significance level of 0.05 in a righttailed case. Compare the results to the critical t value of 1.655 found from STATDISK, Minitab, or a TI83/84 Plus calculator.

Using the Wrong Distribution When testing a claim about a population mean with a simple random sample selected from a normally distributed population with unknown , the Student t distribution should be used for finding critical values and/or a Pvalue. If the standard normal distribution is incorrectly used instead, does that mistake make you more or less likely to reject the null hypothesis, or does it not make a difference? Explain.
