What critical value of t* should be used for a 98% confidence interval for the population mean based on a random sample of 25 observations?


A. t* = 2.485

B. t* = 2.492

C. t* = 2.787

D. t* = 2.797

Respuesta :

Using a t-distribution calculator, it is found that the critical value of t* for a 98% confidence interval with 25 observations is given by:

B. t* = 2.492

How to find the critical value of the t-distribution?

It is found using a calculator, with two inputs, which are given by:

  • The confidence level.
  • The number of degrees of freedom, which is one less than the sample size.

In this problem, we have a confidence level of 98% and 25 - 1 = 24 df, hence the critical value is of t* = 2.492, which means that option B is correct.
