Conversion Tables
Select the links below to see commonly referenced tables. Within the links are explanations and examples of how to apply them.
Z-distribution
Z-Distribution: Areas of the standard normal distibution
The tables assumes the data set is normally distributed and the process is stable.
t-distribution
t-Distribution: Critical values from the t-Distribution
For the t-distribution, DF = n-1, represents the degrees of freedom. If you have 29 samples, then df = 28.
The t-distribution is used instead of the z-distribution (standard normal distribution) when the:
Population standard deviation is unknown
Population is normally distributed
The t-distribution is a series of distributions, a unique distribution exist for each sample size. As the sample size increases it becomes taller and narrower and exhibits more characteristics of the normal curve.
F-distribution
F-Distribution: Percentage points of the F-Distribution
NIST table with the most common levels of significance and degrees of freedom.
Chi-Squared distribution
Chi-Square Table
The chi-square distribution is most often used in many cases for the critical regions for hypothesis tests and in determining confidence intervals.
1) Chi-square test for independence in an "Row x Column" contingency table
2) Chi-square test to determine if the standard deviation of a population is equal to a specified value.
BE CAREFUL when using tables, there are many varieties out there and all can be correct but only when used and interpreted correctly. Some tables are for one-tailed test and others cover two-tailed test.
