Explain how we use the t Table to make a hypothesis testing decision.

What will be an ideal response?


Like the unit normal table, we can use the t Table to figure out if our sample mean is in the critical region(s) of the distribution of sample means when the null hypothesis is true. However, instead of obtaining a p value from the table, the t Table provide the tcritvalue that borders the critical region(s). We must then compare the tcrit with our sample t score in order to make a decision about the null hypothesis.
