Imagine that a researcher appropriately conducts a two-tailed, independent-samples t test with an alpha level of 0.05 (5%). The first group has degrees of freedom equal to 19. The second group has degrees of freedom equal to 21. What is the critical value (as a t statistic) that would cut off the upper 2.5% of the corresponding sampling distribution. Please provide three decimal places when reporting your answer.

For the first group, with 19 degrees of freedom, the critical value is t=2.093.

For the second group, with 21 degrees of freedom, the critical value is t=2.080.

Step-by-step explanation:

The critical value of the t-statistic depends on the significance level and the degrees of freedom of the sample.

For a significance level of 0.05, for a two-tailed test, there is an upper 2.5% and a lower 2.5%.

For the first group, with 19 degrees of freedom, the critical value is t=2.093.

For the second group, with 21 degrees of freedom, the critical value is t=2.080.

hi im bob : l

step-by-step explanation:

this is a direct variation proportion. y = kx

y is the total amount due, k is the constant of variation, and x is the number of texts sent.

plug in the 3.20 and the 16 to solve for the "k". this is the constant of proportionality. it is the value that will not change.

3.20 = k(16). solving you get $.20 per text.

the equation would then be y = .20x
