Statistics
For df = 25, determine the value of A that corresponds to each of the following probabilities:

a. P(t > A) = 0.25
We have P(t >0.684)=0.25 Thus A =0.684

b. P( t< A) = 0.10
We have P(t<-1.316)=0.10 Thus A =-1.316

c. P(-A < t < A) = .99

We have P(-2.787<t<2.787=0.99 Thus A = 2.787

2. Given the following observations in a ...
