The test statistic is given by:

Now look up in the tables the critical value at $\\var{le}$% for $\\var{n}-1=\\var{n-1}$ degrees of freedom and a two-sided test.

\n

Note that as we are using one-sided tables we have to look at the $1-\\var{le}/200=\\var{1-le/200}$ critical value and find the corresponding value.

\n

In this case it is $\\var{st}$ to 3 decimal places.

\n

Since $\\var{abs(test)}$ {isthis} $\\var{st}$ we see that the result is {that}.
