2 2*
t
se( 2 )
By using the value of * 2 in the null hypothesis we can calculate the t value
0.5091 0.3
5.86
0.0357
Then we consult the t- table with 1% or 5% level of significance for
appropriate df. If the tabular value is smaller than the computed value then
we reject the null hypothesis. In this case for 8 df and for 5% level of
significance the tabular t value is 1.86 which is less than the computed value
of 5.86. So we reject the null hypothesis.
