Section C.2 \(t\)-Probability Table

A \(t\)-probability table may be used to find tail areas of a \(t\)-distribution using a T-score, or vice-versa. Such a table lists T-scores and the corresponding percentiles. Each row in the \(t\)-table represents a \(t\)-distribution with different degrees of freedom. The columns correspond to tail probabilities.
one tail 0.100 0.050 0.025 0.010 0.005
two tails 0.200 0.100 0.050 0.020 0.010
