Find the critical value(s) for the left-tailed -test with and . The critical value(s) is/are .
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The test is left-tailed. The level of significance, , is0.0253. The sample size, , is274. We are using the t-distribution table
STEP 2
To find the critical value, we need to use the t-distribution table. The degrees of freedom for the t-distribution is given by , where is the sample size.
STEP 3
Now, plug in the given value for the sample size to calculate the degrees of freedom.
STEP 4
Calculate the degrees of freedom.
STEP 5
Now that we have the degrees of freedom, we can find the critical value from the t-distribution table. The critical value is the t-score that corresponds to the given level of significance, , and degrees of freedom, .
STEP 6
Look up the critical value in the t-distribution table for and . Since this is a left-tailed test, we are looking for the negative t-score.
STEP 7
The critical value from the t-distribution table for and is approximately .
The critical value(s) is/are .
STEP 8
The rejection region for a left-tailed test is all values less than the critical value. So, the rejection region is .
