Hi Helmut and Detlew,

aren't both right? I am just thinking loud here:

We are talking about the critical value of the t distribution, and for that

We can base that on either one-tailed or two-tailed considerations, the t-dist is symmetric around 0.
There is no 'convention' just a bunch of papers and books.
Because of symmetry tval(1-alpha, df) = tval(1-alpha/2, df) if we are clear about the circumstances.

If I remember correctly MS Excel does it a little different from everyone else among the commonly used programs?
