Returns the t-value of the Student's t-distribution as a function of the probability and the degrees of freedom.
Syntax
TINV(probability,degrees_freedom)
Probability is the probability associated with the two-tailed Student's t-distribution.
Degrees_freedom is the number of degrees of freedom to characterize the distribution.
Remarks
Note In some tables, probability is described as (1-p).
TINV uses an iterative technique for calculating the function. Given a probability value, TINV iterates until the result is accurate to within ± 3x10^-7. If TINV does not converge after 100 iterations, the function returns the #N/A error value.
Example
The example may be easier to understand if you copy it to a blank spreadsheet.
