TDIST - script and chart function

This function returns the probability for the student t-distribution where a numeric value is a calculated value of t for which the probability is to be computed.

Syntax:  

TDIST (value, degrees_freedom, tails)

 

This function is related to the TINV function in the following way:

If prob = tdist(value, df ,2), then tinv(prob, df) = value.

Arguments:  

Argument Description
value The value at which you want to evaluate the distribution and must not be negative.
degrees_freedom A positive integer stating the number of degrees of freedom.
tails Must be either 1 (one-tailed distribution) or 2 (two-tailed distribution).
