How it works

For z we use the normal distribution, for t the Student’s t distribution (via the regularized incomplete beta), and for chi-square the upper-tail gamma function. Choose one- or two-tailed for z and t.

Significance: a p-value below your alpha (commonly 0.05) means you reject the null hypothesis.

Good to know

FAQs

What is a p-value?

The probability of seeing a result at least as extreme as yours if the null hypothesis is true.

What does p < 0.05 mean?

Statistically significant at the 5% level — strong enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

When do I use t instead of z?

Use t for small samples or unknown population variance; enter the degrees of freedom.

Is chi-square one- or two-tailed?

Chi-square tests use the upper tail, so the p-value is one-tailed by nature.

Are these exact?

They use accurate numerical methods that match standard statistical software closely.
