When the sampling distribution of the statistic is normal or nearly normal, the critical value can be expressed as a t score or as a z score. To find the critical value, follow these steps. 1  Compute alpha (Î±): Î± = 1 - (confidence level / 100).2  Find the critical probability (p*): p* = 1 - Î±/2. Compute alpha (Î±): Î± = 1 - (confidence level / 100). 2  Find the critical probability (p*): p* = 1 - Î±/2. 3  To express the critical value as a z score, find the z score having a cumulative probability equal to the critical probability (p*).
My fridge is currently boxed in sort of as you describe, except that it is the side of a tall cabinet, not base+wall in front. I have 35 inches in front of the fridge, which has top-bottom doors. The space is usable, but moving the fridge to a spot with more space is one of my priorities on the redesign. I wouldn't do the french door fridge in my tight space, but it may work in yours.
Here's the step-by-step: 1  Height: Measure from floor to ceiling (or whatever the fridge will hit on the top). Add .5 to 1 inch (1.27 to 2.5 centimeters) just to be safe. 2  Width: Leave wiggle room so you can slide your fridge in without a struggle. And add a couple inches on both sides, so your doors can have room to open.
