A) No, because the test value 1.17- 1.17 is inside the noncritical region 2.262<t<2.262- 2.262 < t < 2.262
B) Yes, because the test value 0.21- 0.21 is inside the noncritical region 2.447<t<2.447- 2.447 < t < 2.447
C) No, because the test value 0.21- 0.21 is inside the noncritical region 2.262<t<2.262- 2.262 < t < 2.262
D) Yes, because the test value 2.71- 2.71 is outside the noncritical region 2.447<t<2.447- 2.447 < t < 2.447
