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](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/5fb7n14636qbqikisunrhz3uwdxbas7kdi.png)
round off to two decimal places =
![\pm1.44](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/zztg41h50p9yf79wg467k1xfw7ih6577fc.png)
