eturns the probability for the Student t-distribution where a numeric value is a calculated value of t for
which the probability is to be computed. Value is the value at which you want to evaluate the distribution
and must not be negative. Degrees_freedom is a positive integer stating the number of degrees of freedom.
Tails must be either 1 (one-tailed distribution) or 2 (two-tailed distribution). All arguments must be numeric,
else null will be returned. This function is related to the tinv (prob, degrees_freedom) (page 315) function
in the following way:
If prob = tdist(value, df ,2), then tinv(prob, df) = value.
Example:
chdist( 1, 30, 2 ) returns 0.3253086
tinv (prob, degrees_freedom)
returns the t-value of the Student's t-distribution as a function of the probability and the degrees of freedom.
Prob is a two-tailed probability associated with the t-distribution. It must be a number between 0 and 1.
Degrees_freedom is an integer stating the number of degrees of freedom. Both arguments must be numeric,
else null will be returned. This function is related to the tdist (value, degrees_freedom, tails) (page 314)
function in the following way:
If prob = tdist(value, df ,2), then tinv(prob, df) = value.
Example:
tinv(0.3253086, 30 ) returns 1
fdist (value, degrees_freedom1, degrees_freedom2)
returns the F-distribution.. Value is the value at which you want to evaluate the distribution. Value must not
be negative. Degrees_freedom1 is a positive integer stating the number of numerator degrees of freedom.
Degrees_freedom2 is a positive integer stating the number of denominator degrees of freedom. All arguments
must be numeric, else null will be returned. This function is related to the finv (prob, degrees_freedom1,
degrees_freedom2) (page 315) function in the following way:
If prob = fdist(value, df1, df2), then finv(prob, df1, df2) = value.
Example:
fdist( 15, 8, 6 ) returns 0.0019369
finv (prob, degrees_freedom1, degrees_freedom2)
returns the inverse of the F-distribution. Prob is a probability associated with the F-distribution and must be
a number between 0 and 1. Degrees_freedom is an integer stating the number of degrees of freedom. All
arguments must be numeric, else null will be returned. This function is related to the fdist (value, degrees_
freedom1, degrees_freedom2) (page 315) function in the following way:
If prob = fdist(value, df1, df2), then finv(prob, df1, df2) = value.
Example:
finv( 0.0019369, 8, 5 ) returns 15.0000197

Financial Functions
Note!
For all financial functions it is vital that one is consistent about what units are used for specifying rate and
nper. If monthly payments are made on a five-year loan at 6% annual interest, use 0.005 (6%/12) for rate
and 60 (5*12) for nper. If annual payments are made on the same loan, use 6% for rate and 5 for nper.
