Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The required t score would be determined from the t distribution table. In order to use the t distribution, we would determine the degree of freedom, df for the sample.
df = n - 1 = 50 - 1 = 49
Since confidence level = 99% = 0.99, α = 1 - CL = 1 – 0.99 = 0.01
α/2 = 0.01/2 = 0.005
the area to the right of z0.005 is 0.005 and the area to the left of z0.005 is 1 - 0.005 = 0.995
Looking at the t distribution table,
t score = 2.678
