I am currently using a 90% confidence level on a paper involving the traffic accidents in a particular road. My reasoning is to allow some leeway for some datapoints considering the location is wide and could bear some outliers. And considering when I use 95%, most of my data come out NOT statistically significant by a hair. Is 90% an acceptable confidence level and how exactly do I justify its use? TIA!
The question asks to find a critical t value, with 90% confidence interval and df=89. The previous question was pretty easy, as I could just find 98% confidence and df=20 on the t-table, but I haven't been able to find one with df=89. All of the software I have at my disposal wants me to input a list of data, but other than 90% confidence interval and df=89, there's literally no other numbers to input. I have a TI-89, and I've tried looking up how to find with a calculator, but all the results talk about ti-83 or 84. I don't really have any money to buy anything at all a new calculator. I saw one person in the past asked about stats stuff on a ti-89, but I don't have the calculator cable to download the program onto my calculator.
How do they figure what the critical t values are to put into the chart? Maybe if I knew that, I wouldn't have to rely on information that they chose not to include in the charts.
Thanks!
