The calculator provides for values of the upper-tail (cumulative) distribution

function for the χ
-distribution using [UTPC] given the value of x and the
parameter ν. The definition of this function is, therefore,

UTPC
x
To use this function, we need the degrees of freedom, ν, and the value of the
chi-square variable, x, i.e., UTPC(ν,x).

Different probability calculations for the Chi-squared distribution can be
defined using the function UTPC, as follows:
P(X<a) = 1 - UTPC(ν,a)
P(a<X<b) = P(X<b) - P(X<a) = 1 - UTPC(ν,b) -
UTPC(ν,a) - UTPC(ν,b)
P(X>c) = UTPC(ν,c)
Examples: Given ν = 6, determine:
P(X<5.32) = 1-UTPC(6,5.32) = 0.4965..
P(1.2<X<10.5) = UTPC(6,1.2)-UTPC(6,10.5) = 0.8717...
P(X> 20) = UTPC(6,20) = 2.769..E-3
The F distribution
The F distribution has two parameters νN = numerator degrees of freedom,
and νD = denominator degrees of freedom. The probability distribution
