Why does a high t statistic increase the chance of null hypothesis getting rejected?? Shouldn’t it increase the chance of null hypothesis being accepted because now less area come in the tails (significance area) so more chance of t statistic being less than the critical t value?! Pls help me here.
I presume that you’re talking about the calculated t-statistic, not the critical t-value.
If so, then it doesn’t change the area in the tails, which is determined by the critical t-value. And the larger the calculated t-statistic, the more likely it is to fall into that area.
