Figure 9-1 (p. 284) Distributions of the t statistic for different values of degrees of freedom are compared to a normal z-score distribution. Like the normal distribution, t distributions are bell-shaped and symmetrical and have a mean of zero. However, t distributions have more variability, indicated by the flatter and more spread-out shape. The larger the value of df is, the more closely the t distribution approximates a normal distribution.

Table 9-1 (p. 285) A portion of the t-distribution table. The numbers in the table are the values of t that separate the tail from the main body of the distribution. Proportions for one or two tails are listed at the top of the table, and df values for t are listed in the first column.

Figure 9-2 (p. 286) The t distribution with df = 3. Note that 5% of the distribution is located in the tail beyond t = 2.353. Also, 5% is in the tail beyond t = –2.353. Thus, a total proportion of 10% (0.10) is in the two tails beyond t = ±2.353.

Figure 9-3 (p. 287) The basic experimental situation for using the t statistic or the z-score is presented. It is assumed that the parameter µ is known for the population before treatment. The purpose of the experiment is to determine whether or not the treatment has an effect. We ask, Is the population mean after treatment the same as or different from the mean before treatment? A sample is selected from the treated population to help answer this question.
