Step 2:
The sample size is small (n < 30)
σε is not known
df = n – k – 1 = 12 – 2 – 1 = 9
From the t distribution table (Table V),
the critical value of t for 9 df and .025
area in the left tail is t = -2.262

Step 4:
The value of the test statistic t for b1 can be
obtained from the MINITAB solution given in
Screen 14.3. Thus, the observed value of t is

Step 5:
The value of the test statistic t = - 2.81
It is less than the critical value t = -2.262
If falls in the rejection region
We reject the null hypothesis
