Statistical Inference — critical constant of a normal-mean LRT

Consider a random sample {x1,x2,x3,x4}\{x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4\} from N(μ,σ2)N(\mu, \sigma^2) distribution. Define xˉ=∑i=14xi4\bar{x} = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{4}x_i}{4} and S2=∑i=14(xi−xˉ)23S^2 = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{4}(x_i - \bar{x})^2}{3}. The LRT of size α=0.05\alpha = 0.05 rejects H0:μ=0H_0 : \mu = 0 versus H1:μ≠0H_1 : \mu \ne 0 if and only if ∣xˉ∣S>k\frac{|\bar{x}|}{S} > k. The value of kk, when P(X>t(n,α))=αP(X > t_{(n,\alpha)}) = \alpha, is
