The discussion focuses on using a t-table for statistical analysis, specifically in the context of one-tailed tests. A user references a t-table from a math website and seeks guidance on its application. They clarify that they can handle the concepts of one and two-tailed tests independently. For a one-tailed test with 10 degrees of freedom, the probability outside the critical value t = 1.372 is 10%. Understanding how to interpret and apply values from the t-table is essential for accurate statistical analysis.

I saw a http://www.math.unb.ca/~knight/utility/t-table.htm" on the Internet that Redbelly told me about. How do I use it? Don't bother me about one and two tailed tests - that part I can deal with.

In a one-tailed test, a t-distribution with 10 deg. of freedom has 10% probability outside (e.g. either "to the right" or "to the left," but not both) of the point t = 1.372 on the horizontal axis.
 
The standard _A " operator" maps a Null Hypothesis Ho into a decision set { Do not reject:=1 and reject :=0}. In this sense ( HA)_A , makes no sense. Since H0, HA aren't exhaustive, can we find an alternative operator, _A' , so that ( H_A)_A' makes sense? Isn't Pearson Neyman related to this? Hope I'm making sense. Edit: I was motivated by a superficial similarity of the idea with double transposition of matrices M, with ## (M^{T})^{T}=M##, and just wanted to see if it made sense to talk...
