T.DIST.RT Function in Excel
How to Use T.DIST.RT Function in Excel
1. Description and Usage Syntax
This function returns the right-tailed Student's t-distribution. It's employed in testing hypotheses with small sample sizes.
Syntax:
T.DIST.RT(x,deg_freedom)
Where:
- X: Value used to assess the distribution, a mandatory parameter.
- Deg_freedom: Degrees of freedom of the distribution, a mandatory parameter.
Note:
- Any argument that is not a number -> the function returns an error value #VALUE!
- If Deg_freedom <> -> the function returns an error value #NUM!
- The minimum value of Deg_freedom must be 1.
2. Specific Scenario Example
Assume you need to calculate the right-tailed Student's t-distribution of values in the data table below:
Step 1: In the cell where you want the calculation -> enter the formula: =T.DIST.RT(C3,C4)
Step 2: Press Enter -> the result of the right-tailed Student's t-distribution is:
- If the value for assessing the distribution is less than 0 -> the function still returns the correct result:
- If the degrees of freedom are less than 1 -> the function returns an error value #NUM!
- If any argument is not a number -> the function returns an error value #VALUE!
With the instructions above, you surely know how to use the T.DIST.RT function in Excel! If the T.DIST function helps you calculate the left-tailed Student's t-distribution, then the T.DIST.RT function returns the right-tailed Student's t-distribution - this function is also used in testing hypotheses with small sample sizes. Wish you success when working with this function in Excel.
