    This document contains a table of critical values for the t-distribution for different degrees of freedom (df) and significance levels (p-values) for both one-tailed and two-tailed tests. An example experiment is described that compares pre-test and post-test scores from 30 people, using a one-tailed test. Looking up the t-value of -2.13 in the table with df of 29 and a p-value of 0.05 gives a critical value of 1.697, so the result is significant at the 0.05 level. At a p-value of 0.01, the result is not significant.

    Application
    Now lets look at your own data. The first step is to decide on the number of degrees of
    freedom you have. This depends on whether your samples are paired or independent.

    Your experiment compares when is Pre-Test with when is Post-Test. is measured


    from the same People under both conditions, Pre-Test and Post-Test.
    You measured 30 People in each condition.
    Your test is one-tailed.

    What is your experimental design?


    Should you be looking in the one-tailed or two-tailed column?

    How many degrees of freedom does your data have?


    Your t-value is -2.13. We will ignore the minus sign and just use 2.13, as the values in the ttables are all positive. Using a p-value of 0.05, look in the section of the t-table shown
    below and find the critical value for your data.
