What is the critical value t* for constructing a 98% confidence interval for a mean from a sample size of n = 15 observations?
Added by Matthew C.
Step 1
First, we need to determine the degrees of freedom. In this case, the degrees of freedom would be n - 1 = 15 - 1 = 14. Show more…

You want to calculate a 99% confidence interval for a population mean from a sample of n = 16. What is the appropriate critical t*?
Ajiboye T.
Find the Critical value t_alpha/2 corresponding to a 95% confidence level, given that the sample has size n = 15 Hint: Use t-table.
Adi S.
Determine the $t$ critical value for a one-sample $t$ confidence interval in each of the following situations. (a) Confidence level $=95 \%, \mathrm{df}=10$ (b) Confidence level $=95 \%, \mathrm{df}=15$ (c) Confidence level $=99 \%, \mathrm{df}=15$ $\begin{array}{ll}{\text { (d) }} & {\text { Confidence level }=99 \%, n=5} \\ {\text { (e) }} & {\text { Confidence level }=98 \%, \text { df }=24} \\ {\text { (f) }} & {\text { Confidence level }=99 \%, n=38}\end{array}$
