TINV

The TINV function in Google Sheets is a statistical tool that calculates the inverse of the Student's t-distribution for a given probability and degrees of freedom. This function is commonly used in hypothesis testing and confidence interval calculations. Explore our comprehensive guide to understand its syntax and application.

Function Syntax and Parameters

Syntax: TINV(probability, degrees_freedom)

Parameters:

  • probability: The probability associated with the two-tailed Student's t-distribution.
  • degrees_freedom: The degrees of freedom representing the number of observations in the sample.

Step-by-Step Tutorial

  1. Using TINV with a probability and degrees of freedom:
    • Example: =TINV(0.05, 10)
    • Result: Output the result here based on the example

Use Cases and Scenarios

  1. Hypothesis Testing: Determine the critical t-value to verify a hypothesis.
  2. Confidence Interval: Calculate the t-value for a given confidence level and degrees of freedom.
  3. Statistical Analysis: Utilize the TINV function to analyze datasets.
