TDIST Function Explained

The TDIST Function in Microsoft Excel calculates the Student’s t-distribution, which is a probability distribution that is used in hypothesis testing. It takes three arguments: x, deg_freedom, and tails. x is the value for which you want to calculate the distribution, deg_freedom is the number of degrees of freedom, and tails is the number of tails (1 or 2) in the distribution. The function returns the probability associated with the given value.

TDIST Function Syntax

TDIST(x,deg_freedom,tails)

  • x: The value for which you want to calculate the t-distribution.
  • deg_freedom: The number of degrees of freedom.
  • tails: The number of tails for the t-distribution. Possible values are 1 or 2.
