Student's "t" table
This information comes from the on-line textbook for the software package Statistica. For more information, see Distribution Tables.
The Shape of the Student's t distribution is determined by the degrees of freedom. As shown in the animation above, its shape changes as the degrees of freedom increases. As indicated by the chart below, the areas given at the top of this table are the right tail areas for the t-value inside the table. To determine the 0.05 critical value from the t-distribution with 6 degrees of freedom, look in the 0.05 column at the 6 row: t(.05,6) = 1.943180.
