t-table
Student's t test

Note 1: A difference between two means is significant (at the given probability level) if the calculated t value is greater than the value given in this table. A probability of p = 0.05 (95% probability of making a correct statement) is usually acceptable for biological work, but p = 0.1 can be used for a "one-tailed" t-test.

Note 2: When comparing two means, the number of degrees of freedom is (n1 + n2)-2, where n1 is the number of replicates of treatment 1, and n2 is the number of replicates of treatment 2.

Note 3: This table does not show all degrees of freedom. If you want a value between, say 30 and 40, then use the value for 30 df.
