Question 240949
<pre>
The area IS .05!!!  I think you must mean how do you find the
t-score which has the area of .05 to the left of it.  

If that's what you want, you find the value 50 under the df-column 
then find the column that is headed 0.05 and the value in line with 
50 in the df-column is t=1.676.  That's the value of t that has
area .05 to the RIGHT of it.  But since you want the t-score that
has area .05 to the LEFT of it, you simply make that value negative
because the t-curve is symmetrical.

Answer: t = -1.676
