Math Problem Statement

Use technology to calculate the following probability for a t-distribution with 12 degrees of freedom. Answer with at least three decimal places. P (t>-1.71)=

Solution

The probability P(t>1.71)P(t > -1.71) for a t-distribution with 12 degrees of freedom is approximately 0.944 (to three decimal places).

Would you like more details on how this was calculated, or do you have any questions? Here are some related questions you might consider:

  1. How does the t-distribution differ from the normal distribution?
  2. What are the implications of using the t-distribution in hypothesis testing?
  3. How do degrees of freedom affect the shape of the t-distribution?
  4. Can you explain how to find critical values for a t-distribution?
  5. What is the significance of one-tailed versus two-tailed tests in statistics?

Tip: When using the t-distribution, remember that it is most appropriate for smaller sample sizes and when the population standard deviation is unknown.
