Math Problem Statement

For a t-distribution with 16 degrees of freedom, find the area, or probability, in each region: - To the right of 2.120 - To the left of 1.337 - To the left of -1.746 - To the right of 2.583 - Between -2.120 and 2.120 - Between -1.746 and 1.746

Solution

The image asks for the area or probability in specific regions of a t-distribution with 16 degrees of freedom. These are calculated using the t-distribution table or using statistical software. I'll calculate each one and round them according to the requirements:

Given: t-distribution with 16 degrees of freedom.

a. To the right of 2.120

We need P(T>2.120)P(T > 2.120). Using a t-distribution table or calculator: P(T>2.120)=0.025P(T > 2.120) = 0.025

b. To the left of 1.337

We need P(T<1.337)P(T < 1.337). Using a t-distribution table or calculator: P(T<1.337)=0.900P(T < 1.337) = 0.900

c. To the left of -1.746

We need P(T<1.746)P(T < -1.746). Since the t-distribution is symmetric, P(T<1.746)=P(T>1.746)P(T < -1.746) = P(T > 1.746): P(T<1.746)=0.05P(T < -1.746) = 0.05

d. To the right of 2.583

We need P(T>2.583)P(T > 2.583). Using a t-distribution table or calculator: P(T>2.583)=0.01P(T > 2.583) = 0.01

e. Between -2.120 and 2.120

We need P(2.120<T<2.120)P(-2.120 < T < 2.120). This corresponds to 12P(T>2.120)1 - 2P(T > 2.120): P(2.120<T<2.120)=12(0.025)=0.950P(-2.120 < T < 2.120) = 1 - 2(0.025) = 0.950

f. Between -1.746 and 1.746

We need P(1.746<T<1.746)P(-1.746 < T < 1.746). This corresponds to 12P(T>1.746)1 - 2P(T > 1.746): P(1.746<T<1.746)=12(0.05)=0.900P(-1.746 < T < 1.746) = 1 - 2(0.05) = 0.900

Summary:

  • a: P(T>2.120)=0.025P(T > 2.120) = 0.025 (to 3 decimals)
  • b: P(T<1.337)=0.90P(T < 1.337) = 0.90 (to 2 decimals)
  • c: P(T<1.746)=0.05P(T < -1.746) = 0.05 (to 2 decimals)
  • d: P(T>2.583)=0.01P(T > 2.583) = 0.01 (to 2 decimals)
  • e: P(2.120<T<2.120)=0.95P(-2.120 < T < 2.120) = 0.95 (to 2 decimals)
  • f: P(1.746<T<1.746)=0.90P(-1.746 < T < 1.746) = 0.90 (to 2 decimals)
