Question 135535: a.What is the F critical value to be used at the 0.05 level of significance with 7 numerator degrees of freedom and 12 denominator degrees of freedom?
b.What is the chi-square critical value with 12 degrees of freedom for a 0.05 probability?
c.What is the exact probability of a value that fits a chi-square distribution with 17 degrees of freedom being higher than 30.995?
d.I have a sample of 13 units and I want to run a hypothesis test comparing the average to a set value. The hypothesis test uses an alpha of 0.05. What critical value would be used to compare the test statistic against?

a.What is the F critical value to be used at the 0.05 level of significance with 7 numerator degrees of freedom and 12 denominator degrees of freedom?
Ans: 2.9134
--------------------
b.What is the chi-square critical value with 12 degrees of freedom for a 0.05 probability?
Ans: 27.587
------------------------
c.What is the exact probability of a value that fits a chi-square distribution with 17 degrees of freedom being higher than 30.995?
Ans: 0.0019734752...
------------------------
d.I have a sample of 13 units and I want to run a hypothesis test comparing the average to a set value. The hypothesis test uses an alpha of 0.05. What critical value would be used to compare the test statistic against?
Sounds like a two-tail z-test with alpha=5%:
Critical value = +/-1.96
-----------------
If your text considers 13 units to be a small sample you may want
the crit. value for a two-tail t-test with alpha=5%:
Critical value = 2.179
