Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Use the t table to find the critical value.98% confident, df = 10
A
2.36
B
2.76
C
2.82
D
2.40
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If you want the critical value of t for a two-tailed test, divide the significance level by two.

Detailed explanation-2: -A 95% confidence interval would encompass all but the bottom 2.5% and the top 97.5% which correspond to probabilities of 0.025 and 0.975. We can use qt(p, df)to compute the critical value of t. Therefore, the critical value of t is about 2.05.
