Syntax

PROBT(x,df<,nc>)


Arguments

x

is a numeric random variable.

df

is a numeric degrees of freedom parameter.

Range: df > 0
nc

is an optional numeric noncentrality parameter.


Details

The PROBT function returns the probability that an observation from a Student's t distribution, with degrees of freedom df and noncentrality parameter nc, is less than or equal to x. This function accepts a noninteger degree of freedom parameter df. If the optional parameter, nc, is not specified or has the value 0, the value that is returned is from the central Student's t distribution.

The significance level of a two-tailed t test is given by

p=(1-probt(abs(x),df))*2;


Examples
