Find the value of t for a t-distribution with 12 degrees of freedom such that the area to the left of t equals 0.025. Round your answer to three decimal places, if necessary.

-2.179

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Degree of freedom, df = 12

Area to the left = 0.025

The value of T can be obtained using either a t distribution table or a T value calculator :

t0.025, 12 (to the left) = t(1-0.025), 12 = t0.975,12 = - 2.1788

Therefor le, t value with 12 degree of freedom, with area to the left being 0.025 is - 2.179
