T.INV function

PRO

In Jspreadsheet Formulas Pro, the T.INV function is used to calculate the inverse of the one-tailed probability of a Student's t-distribution. Essentially, this function is handy when you want to determine the t-value for a given significance level and degree of freedom. This is especially useful in statistical analysis, where t-values are commonly used to test hypotheses. In short, T.INV helps you to determine the value below which a specified percentage of the data falls.

Documentation

Returns the inverse of the one-tailed probability of a Student's t-distribution.

Category

Statistical

Syntax

T.INV(probability, degrees_freedom)

Parameter Description
probability The probability associated with the one-tailed Student's t-distribution.
degrees_freedom The number of degrees of freedom for the t-distribution. Must be a positive integer.

Behavior

The T.INV function returns the left-tailed inverse of the Student's t-distribution. The function takes two arguments: the probability and the degrees of freedom. The function expects both arguments to be numerical values.

  • If the cell is empty, the function treats it as zero.
  • Text values or boolean values in arguments return an error.
  • The function also returns an error if the degrees of freedom is less than one or the probability is not between zero and one.
  • In case of error values in either of the arguments, the function propagates the error.

Common Errors

Error Description
#VALUE! Occurs if either of the supplied arguments are non-numeric.
#NUM! Occurs if the supplied probability is < 0 or > 1, or if the supplied degrees_freedom < 1.

Best practices

  • Always ensure that the probability and degrees of freedom are numeric and meet the criteria (probability between 0 and 1, degrees of freedom >= 1) to avoid errors.
  • It is recommended to use cell references instead of direct numerical inputs for the function's arguments to maintain data accuracy and consistency.
  • Be aware of the fact that this function assumes a continuous distribution. It may not be accurate for very small or very large degrees of freedom.
  • Always validate your data before using it in the function to avoid unexpected errors.
  • For two-tailed tests, consider using the T.INV.2T function instead.

Usage

A few examples using the T.INV function.

T.INV(0.05, 10)   // Returns the t-value where 5% of the distribution is below, with 10 degrees of freedom
T.INV(0.1, 5)     // Returns the critical value for a one-tailed test at 10% significance level with 5 df
T.INV(0.025, 20)  // Returns the t-value corresponding to the 2.5% lower tail with 20 df
