How To Read Autocorrelation Table
$begingroup$ If your null hypothesis is no autocorrelation, then you cannot 'reject the null and assume no autocorrelation'. If you believe there may be negative autocorrelation, then perhaps you should be testing $4-d$ against the critical values $endgroup$ – Henry Apr 9 '17 at 22:28.
The t-table (for the t-distribution) is different from the Z-table (for the Z-distribution); make sure you understand the values in the first and last rows. Finding probabilities for various t-distributions, using the t-table, is a valuable statistics skill. Use the t-table as necessary to solve the following problems.
Sample questions
For a study involving one population and a sample size of 18 (assuming you have a t-distribution), what row of the t-table will you use to find the right-tail (“greater than”) probability affiliated with the study results?
Answer:df = 17
The study involving one population and a sample size of 18 has nBurnx free mac. – 1 = 18 – 1 = 17 degrees of freedom.
For a study involving a paired design with a total of 44 observations, with the results assuming a t-distribution, what row of the table will you use to find the probability affiliated with the study results?
Answer:df = 21
A matched-pairs design with 44 total observations has 22 pairs. The degrees of freedom is one less than the number of pairs: n – 1 = 22 – 1 = 21.
A t-value of 2.35, from a t-distribution with 14 degrees of freedom, has an upper-tail (“greater than”) probability between which two values on the t-table?
Answer: 0.025 and 0.01
Using the t-table, locate the row with 14 degrees of freedom and look for 2.35. However, this exact value doesn’t lie in this row, so look for the values on either side of it: 2.14479 and 2.62449. The upper-tail probabilities appear in the column headings; the column heading for 2.14479 is 0.025, and the column heading for 2.62449 is 0.01.
Hence, the upper-tail probability for a t-value of 2.35 must lie between 0.025 and 0.01.

Read the periodic table from top left to bottom right. The elements are ordered by their atomic numbers, which increase as you move across and down the periodic table. The atomic number is how many protons the element’s atom possesses.
You’ll also notice that each element’s atomic mass increases as you move across the table. This means you can recognize a lot about an element’s weight by just looking at its place on the table. The atomic mass increases as you move across or down the table because the mass is calculated by adding up the protons and neutrons in each element’s atom. The number of protons increases with each element, which means the weight goes up, as well. Electrons are not included in the atomic mass, as they contribute much less to the atom’s weight than protons and neutrons. X Research source.
