T Table: Understand the probabilities with various distribution degrees


What is T-Table?

T-Score table Calculator involves the inclusion of critical values, also known as percentiles, for proper calculation of t-distribution series. The table houses a column headed as df or degrees of freedom that adds value to each row in the table. The column part of the t-table score calculator is labelled as “Percent”, “Two-Sided”, and “One-Sided”. The percent here is the distribution function which is calculated from 100X the cumulative of the said distribution function.

Uses of T-Distribution Table

T-table is generally used in testing of several hypotheses. This helps is figuring out the fact that you need to accept/reject the null hypothesis.

More about T-distribution table

T-Distribution or T-Value table is the type of probability distribution that is continuous with random values at the real line. The major properties of the t-statistic calculator include.

  1. The t-distribution statistic is continuous due to which the probability for acquiring any single or specific outcome is zero.
  2. It is similar to normal curves with bell shape.
  3. The value is efficiently determined by 1 parameter which is “df” or “Degrees of Freedom”. For example, 1 sample has df= n-1, which is zero and here n is the sample size.
  4. The t-score table is symmetric with regards to 0.
  5. T-distribution efficiently “converges” towards the standard type of normal distribution given the fact that df here converges towards infinity.

What does each entry in the T-Table mean ?

The entries in the t-distribution table are corresponding percentile for the t-distribution. The one-sided entry is used to describe the significance for the level for one-sided upper aligned critical value. The Two-sided entry gives a significance level for two-sided value.

How should one use T-value calculator with t-table?

When described in general terms, the two-tailed case with critical value corresponds to 2 point towards the left & right for the distribution center. This houses the sum property of cumulative under curve for left tail and area under curve in right tail equals the given level of significance α.

Z-score and T-score: When should one use the T-score?

As per general thumb rule with regards to the use of t-score, it can be used when the sample is:

Technically, the z-scores act as a converter for individual scores to the standard form. This conversion allows one to easily compare the different set of data. It is basically based on the knowledge of standard deviation for the population and its mean value.
On the other hand, t-scores also act as the individual score converter into the standard form. However, the t-scores can easily be used when the students doesn’t know the standard deviation in the population.

How should one use the T-value calculator with t-table?

When described in general terms, the two-tailed case with critical value corresponds to 2 points towards the left & right for the distribution centre. This houses the sum property of cumulative under the curve for left tail and area under the curve in right tail equals the given level of significance α.
