Can you have a negative critical t-value?

We know that the critical value at the mean is zero. Every critical value to the left of the mean is negative. Every critical value to the right of the mean is positive. When you find the critical value, it should be negative since it is to the left of the mean.

How do you interpret t-test results?

Higher values of the t-value, also called t-score, indicate that a large difference exists between the two sample sets. The smaller the t-value, the more similarity exists between the two sample sets. A large t-score indicates that the groups are different. A small t-score indicates that the groups are similar.

How do you interpret a negative effect size?

In short, the sign of your Cohen’s d effect tells you the direction of the effect. If M1 is your experimental group, and M2 is your control group, then a negative effect size indicates the effect decreases your mean, and a positive effect size indicates that the effect increases your mean.

How do you find the p-value for a negative t statistic?

If your test statistic is negative, first find the probability that Z is less than your test statistic (look up your test statistic on the Z-table and find its corresponding probability). Then double this probability to get the p-value.

Are negative P values significant?

For a particular observed value, say 0.25 as shown, the p value is the probability of getting anything more positive than 0.25 and anything more negative than -0.25. Bigger correlations would have even smaller p values and would be statistically significant.

What are the examples of negative values?

For instance, – 2, – 3, – 4, – 5, -2/3, -5/7, -3/4, -0.5, -0.7. etc. are examples of negative numbers. In this case, these numbers are pronounced as negative two, negative three, negative four and so on.

What does a negative effect mean in statistics?

By definition statistically non-significant results are negative results when an effect exists in the population. A study that shows a large difference in the opposite direction would not produce a significant result no matter how large the difference is.
