Explanatory Notes

For a Two-Tailed Test, use the α here that corresponds to half the two-tailed α.
- For example if a two-tailed confidence limit of 90% is desired (α=0.1), use a one-tailed α from this table of 0.05
In the limit ν=∞, this distribution is equivalent to a normal distribution X~N(0,1)
