[R] t-stat Curve

[Charles Annis, P.E.]

Isaac:

You will likely find something helpful here:
http://addictedtor.free.fr/graphiques/thumbs.php

I also recently came across this code (I thought it was at the URL above,
but I can't find it now) that may be useful with modification.

I apologize to the code-writer for having lost the correct reference. (If
anyone finds it, please send the reference to me. Thanks.)

Subject: [R] t-stat Curve

Number of subjects = 25
Mean of Sample = 77
Standard Deviation (s) = 12
sem = 2.4
df = 24

The claim is that population mean is less than 80
* > 80
So our H0 (null hupotheis) is * > 80


> qt(.95,24)
[1] 1.710882
> qt(0.05, 24)
[1] -1.710882

tstat = -1.25 on t24 falls between 1.711 (.95,24) and *1.711 (.005,24)


How Could I sketch t curve for the above data where my * would be at the
center?

Best Regards
Isaac
