Given

Confidence level = 85%

Find

Critical Value

Step-by-step explanation

As we know that the critical value of a distribution is the value beyond which the rejection region lies.

for a confidence interval the rejection region lies beyond two values , the positive and negative critical value.

so,


\pm z_{(\alpha)/(2)=}\operatorname{\pm}z_{(0.15)/(2)=\pm1.439}

Final Answer

The critical value is


\pm1.439

round off to two decimal places =


\pm1.44
