OK, I went back and read some of the CFA material with a fresh mind. It seems to have stuck. I was able to decipher (please confirm, anish) that for the "less than" test, the lower alpha point is (1 - alpha).

This was based on the BOK's representation of the "Not equal to H-alternative": it recognizes that the lower (alpha/2) point is ((1 - alpha)/2).

Given all this, can you confirm this example: Assume an "equal to/not equal to" test. Significance level = 0.10. DF = 10.
This implies (alpha/2) = 0.05
This also means that the upper (alpha/2) point is 18.307 and that the lower (alpha/2) point is the value at the intersection of DF=10 and alpha=0.475.

Thanks!
