Stat 1000: What to do if your df is not on Table D
Published: Wed, 03/30/11
If Table D does not have the degrees of freedom (df) you require, use a df as close as you can get without going over. Which is to say, use a smaller df that is on the table.
For example, if your n=100, telling you that df = 99, but there is no df=99 on Table D, you have to make do with df=80, the closest you can get to 99 without going over. Do not use df=100 even though that is closer. Never use a df that is higher than what you actually possess.
