T.DIST.RT

The T.DIST.RT function in Google Sheets returns the right-tailed Student distribution for a given value x. This statistical function is commonly used for hypothesis testing and calculating probabilities in a t-distribution.

Function Syntax and Parameters

Syntax: T.DIST.RT(x, degrees_freedom)

Parameters:

  • x: The numeric value at which to evaluate the distribution.
  • degrees_freedom: The degrees of freedom parameter for the t-distribution.

Step-by-Step Tutorial

To use the T.DIST.RT function, follow these steps:

  1. Calculate the right-tailed Student distribution with a given value of x and degrees of freedom using the function syntax: =T.DIST.RT(x, degrees_freedom)

Use Cases and Scenarios

The T.DIST.RT function can be applied in various scenarios, including:

  1. Hypothesis Testing: Determine the probability of observing a t-value greater than a given value.
  2. Statistical Analysis: Calculate the probability of randomly obtaining a sample mean larger than a certain value.
  3. Quality Control: Assess the likelihood of obtaining a test statistic that exceeds a given critical value.
