T_DIST

Returns the left-tailed Student's t-distribution.

Syntax

expression.T_DIST(arg1, arg2, arg3);

expression - A variable that represents a ApiWorksheetFunction class.

Parameters

NameRequired/OptionalData typeDefaultDescription
arg1RequiredApiRange | ApiName | numberThe numeric value at which to evaluate the distribution.
arg2RequiredApiRange | ApiName | numberAn integer indicating the number of degrees of freedom that characterize the distribution.
arg3RequiredApiRange | ApiName | booleanA logical value (true or false) that determines the function form. If it is true, the function returns the cumulative distribution function. If it is false, the function returns the probability density function.

Returns

number

Example

Calculate the left-tail probability of the Student's t-distribution in a spreadsheet.

// How do I find the probability for a given t-value in a spreadsheet?

// Get the cumulative distribution function for the t-distribution in a spreadsheet.

let worksheet = Api.GetActiveSheet();
let func = Api.WorksheetFunction;
let ans = func.T_DIST(1.5, 10, false);
worksheet.GetRange("B2").SetValue(ans);
