Verification of a T estimate of a mean

Thank you in advance for your support.

There is a not expected difference in the computation of Lower and Upper Limits for the interval estimation of the Mean, using the t-distribution.

Please see the attached file. The expected limits are: [39.13, 44.81]. Could you please verify the correctness of the result in the Probability Calculator?

GeoGebra is really a great development for education and beyond. Thank you very much for your outstanding work.

Sincerely,

E. Cómer.

Are you saying that it should be

41.97 ± 2.84
instead of

41.97 ± 3.3029

It's doing this calculation under the hood

 InverseTDistribution(19, 0.988)=2.453
which seems consistent with

TDistribution(19, 2.453) = 0.988

What's your calculation that gives (39.13, 44.81)? Maybe https://www.geogebra.org/m/caq6wxxj is helpful
