Given:

n=Sample size=48α=Significance level=0.05Right-tailed test\begin{align*} n&=\text{Sample size}=48 \\ \alpha&=\text{Significance level}=0.05 \\ &\text{Right-tailed test} \end{align*}

The critical values can be found in Student tt-distribution table in the appendix in the row of df=n1=481=47df=n-1=48-1=47 (since the table does not contain a row df=47df=47, we use the nearest smaller degrees of freedom df=45df=45 instead) and the column of α=0.05\alpha=0.05 (one tail):

t=1.679t=-1.679

The rejection region then contains all values below 1.679-1.679.
