If you were constructing a 99% confidence interval of the population mean based on a sample of n = 25 where the standard deviation of the sample s = 0.05, the critical value of t will be:

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you were constructing a 99% confidence interval of the population mean based on a sample of n = 25 where the standard deviation of the sample s = 0.05, the critical value of t will be:
--------------------------
A 99% confidence interval critical value is same as that for a two-tailed
hypothesis test. You have n=25 so you have 24 degrees of freedom.
Using your t-chart find the line for df=24 and the column for 1% and 2-tailed:
t = 2.797
