I am not entirely following.. 🙁 the rule is reject null when t > + t critical, or t < - t critical. (see the 2nd image) for example on air temp, t-critical is -5.8, and test stat is -0.4, it doesnt satisfy this reject if 't < - t critical'.... i dont understand why it rejected. pls pls help!!!

i understand this ‘if the absolute T-value is bigger than the critical T-value of reference, one must reject the null hypothesis.’ 

so taking the air temp example, 0.4 is not greater than 5.8… how come the answer is reject the null???  i am so confused!! please help me understand this!!  thank you!!

the first column is more appropriately named ‘coefficient estimate” as there are examples in the text and sample exams that have ‘test statistics’ referred to the calculated t-stat..like this one 

what do you think?

that makes sense..

can you confirm if DF is a two tailed T-test with df (n-k-1)?

yes i read it as ‘col 1’ is the T-stat value and ‘col 3’ is the T-critical.  i’ve seen on other questions that provide both value of test statistics and the t-critical @ 5% significance.  i think the wording is just confusing…
