second assumption regarding nearly normal residuals is particularly difficult to assess when the sample size is small.

normal probability table may be used to find percentiles of a normal distribution using a Z-score, or vice-versa. Such a table lists Z-scores and the corresponding percentiles. An abbreviated probability table is provided in Figure C.1 that we’ll use for the examples in this appendix. A full table may be found on page ...

we want the area to the right, we first find the lower tail and then subtract it from 1. For instance, 84.13% of SAT takers scored below Ann, which means 15.87% of test takers scored higher than Ann. We can also find the Z-score associated with a percentile. For example, to identify Z for the 80th percentile, we look for...

table starts on page 516. Each row in the t-table represents a t-distribution with different degrees of freedom. The columns correspond to tail probabilities. For instance, if we know we are working with the t-distribution with df = 18, we can examine row 18, which is highlighted in Figure C.3. If we want the value in ...
identify the column containing the absolute value of -2.10; it is the third column. Because we are looking for just one tail, we examine the top line of the table, which shows that a one tail area for a value in the third row corresponds to 0.025. That is, 2.5% of the distribution falls below -2.10. In the next exampl...
