Using the t Table to Find the P-value in One-Sample t Tests 

tomorrow's my exam so here i am! laziness is a disease that's hard to cure lol

I was struggling with this for a good hour, Thank you so much man!!

A simple, easy to understand explanation of t-table usage. Thanks!

I literally could not understand this concept in my stats lecture, so frustrating, but this has helped me immensely! Perfect for finals!

Hi there. I am an international student and I am taking Stats this semester. So fat, I never understood what the concept of this chapter and previous chapters. Therefore, I looked up the solution manual and tried to search the definition with calculation problems. However, it was really difficult to understand. Once I stepped in here, my brain wakes up and everything is clear now. I mean, thank you for sharing this fantastic video and I can not wait to test following Monday. Again, thank you so much for this awesome video,

I don't use linear interpolation in this situation because it's not a linear function. I think it might be misleading for some students and in my opinion it's just not worth it. Cheers.

had to log in to thumb this up :)

You are very welcome Vinayak. And thanks very much for the blessing!

Is there any difference in the computation of t-value for right-sided hypothesis/left-sided hypothesis testing. For a given dataset, I can derive a t-value with SD/(sqrt(n)) which would be the same for both left/right sided hyp testing. Then according to you, the p-value on the other side of the test would be (1-Alpha). I am just wondering if the p-value just differ based on the side we chose to test?

The title of this video is "Using the t Table to Find the P-value in One-Sample t Tests", and the video addresses that specific topic. I discuss alpha in other videos.

You are very welcome!

I just did an exam where the t-value was 5.1, and the degrees of freedom was 147. t-values go up to 5.0 in the statistical tables, couldn't figure out how to handle it. Most of the other questions the t-values or z values were not in the table, but were somewhere between consecutive t values, which made finding p and other values very time consuming. To be honest I wasn't really ready for these challenges. Well, back to the shed for more practice.

Why am i doing this for a zoology degree

Many thanks from a 3rd year engineering student, taking stats!

I still don't get how you use software to find the P-value!

Great Video! Everything makes so much sense now! Much appreciated! :)

Hello I have this question... when you're calculating the t value of a t distribution, under a null hypothesis for a 2 tailed test, would you always get a negative value of t (like in 4:14, the t=-1.31)? and why?

Very good explanation sir 🙏🙏🙏

Thanks! Professor handed us the table and never showed us what anything meant!

Great explanation. Simple, clear, and to the point. It made it really easy to understand... i wish we had you and RU-vid 15 years ago when I wast in HS.... lol

great video thanks

Okay. This video is the best I can do on this topic.

Thankz buddy :) You are a lifesaver (y)

Excellent work with this video - crystal clear now. Thanks!

paying 1000 dollars for tuition and here I am skipping lectures to watch RU-vid. GG

So glad I found your video. It was very easy to understand, thanks for the help.

Great tutorial! But I was wondering how come you used df= n-1, while in class we are using df=n-2? When do you know which one to use?

Excellent , Explanation and example are awesome, Thank you very much

I must say that I am blessed I found your videos. You are doing great job. God bless you !!!

Just wanna say thanks for making the video. It was very helpful! I hope you keep making them

Holy crap this vid actually saved my life, good thing there was an example of the exact kind of problem. Wouldn’t have gotten that one answer right on khan academy lol

How do you know which number to put 1st? .01 or 0.025 ?

Hey, how can I get the exact P-VALUE of t test using students t distribution table? You didn't teach howw

Thanks!

so how the fuck do you find the p-value without software then!

Great Tutorial man

this really helped but if i dont have the software then how do i get to a solution

For t = -1.58 and t = -1.82, it means that the interval of P-value should be same but there is a different p-value in a book for t = -1.82 (for 7 degree of freedom) which is outside of the interval [0.1, 0.2]. Why?

omg help guys, my tstat i found is -0.9318. I looked at the table and it's only positive values. how do i find the p-value from this and my d.f is 17. Help please =(((

You're not using the t-table to find the p-value in this video. You still calculate it from software. Maybe you should rename this video to "Using the t-table to obtain a very rough estimate of the P-value in one-sample t-tests"

sorry, may I ask something? If my test statistics =24.5519 n =8... d.f 7

Why that null hypothesis not equal and geater than sign?

Thank u. But one question With df 8,p(-2.5

very helpful! thank u so much! gonna ace this test!!!

why would you call a negative t-value any more absurd than a positive one?

i have one question. its one sample test. so there is one sample. DF = n - k - 1 . so wouldnt it be 8 and not 9?

how about negative t value sir? for example t = -2.14, how can we find the p-value with that?

LIFESAVER.

Thank you very much for solving my problem! Have a nice day!

Can you please transfer to Brock and replace the Russian guy sometime in the next few days?

Thank you jbstatistics. These youtube videos are a big help!

how do you input the info to a calculator to get the p value??!! pls help

How to do it if I don't have software??

I literally have a collection of your videos under the folder name JBTheGod! Thank you man!!!!

hi, so can we find p value manually and not using any software?

Can you do an example where the t-value is negative for the 3 scenarios (< , > , not equal to). Thank you.

very helpful. thanks

can you do a video on finding the p-value for a two-sample t-test?

Thanks ❤❤❤

how do i find the p-value for T tests on minitab. I know how to do Z but with T I keep getting it wrong

how can using a software ???

Thank you jbstatistics. You are such a life-saver.

Exellent explication!!! Thank you so much!!!

youre a fucking god

Merci beaucoup

Awesome explanation

final on Tuesday, for behavioral sciences

Great video ☝👍👍👍

best video.. made my problem solved ! thumbs Up

Nice videos. Why don't you simply use the linear interpolation to find the p-value 0.021?

Thank you.. Like others, I was struggling with this and now I've got the concept.

Isnt 7 not big enough

bruh this shit wrong

have to leave a comment

Do we need a significance level to find the p value?

hey why do we need to double the area for the last example？

You seem to have left out a description and implementation of alpha.

Thanks a lott

p value is similar to level of significance?

How can I find the t value for 63

Thank you

amazing

bravo!

Brilliant thankyou so much. I am a university student studying mathematics and needed to refresh my memory on p values

This video saved my butt! thanks dude! very clear explanation

very nice man

Too boring, switching videos

Simple explanation.. straight to the point... Great job... thkx ya..

What about problems where it doesn't give you 2.59?!?!?!?!?!?! NOBODY WILL EXPLAIN THIS I have problem where it gives me a percentage and level of significants

Very nice presentation; but sir can we determine the exact p value in betwwen two p values and two t values using interpolation?

You explained it so well, it was really helpful ! :D

great vid... thanks!

Great explanation! Thanks very much.

This may be a silly question but in 4:44 how did you know to look at the left tail and not the right tail? do you just look at the smaller tail? Very helpful video btw, thanks.

Thanks so much, you explained it better than anyone that I have looked at.

Sample obtained

Perfectly explained and extremely helpful!

? Please I want an answer to how to calculate the p value

what software can you use. All I hear is "software software software". What software. Man. I don't like this subject. I have one more week and when it's done all of this non-sense will leave my mind forever

Very helpful! Thank you for your clarity.
