where Γ(α) = (α-1)! is the GAMMA function defined in Chapter 3.
The calculator provides for values of the upper-tail (cumulative) distribution
function for the t-distribution, function UTPT, given the parameter
ν and the value
of t, i.e., UTPT(
ν,t). The definition of this function is, therefore,
For example, UTPT(5,2.5) = 2.7245…E-2. Other probability calculations for the
t-distribution can be defined using the function UTPT, as follows:
Θ P(T<a) = 1 - UTPT(
ν,a)
Θ P(a<T<b) = P(T<b) - P(T<a) = 1 - UTPT(
ν,b) - (1 - UTPT(ν,a)) =
UTPT(
ν,a) - UTPT(ν,b)
Θ P(T>c) = UTPT(
ν,c)
Examples: Given
ν = 12, determine:
P(T<0.5) = 1-UTPT(12,0.5) = 0.68694..
P(-0.5<T<0.5) = UTPT(12,-0.5)-UTPT(12,0.5) = 0.3738…
P(T> -1.2) = UTPT(12,-1.2) = 0.8733…
The Chi-square distribution
The Chi-square (χ

) distribution has one parameter ν, known as the degrees of
freedom. The probability distribution function (pdf) is given by
