Standard Normal distribution

Notations

Let us note the random variable $Z$ that follows the standard normal distribution, i.e. which is such that:

$$Z\sim\mathcal{N}(0,1)$$

We note $z_\alpha$ as follows:

$$z_\alpha=\Phi_Z^{-1}(1-\alpha)\quad\textrm{i.e}\quad \alpha=\int_{z_{\alpha}}^{+\infty}f_Z(z)dz=1-\Phi_Z(z_\alpha)$$

with $\Phi_Z$ the cumulative distribution of $Z$

Distribution table

For one-tailed tests, the value of interest is $z_{\alpha}$, whereas for two-tailed tests, we have to look at $z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}$

$t$ distribution

Notations

Let us note the random variable $T$ that follows a $t$ distribution of $n$ degrees of freedom, i.e. which is such that:

$$T\sim t_n$$

We note $t_\alpha$ as follows:

$$t_\alpha=\Phi_T^{-1}(1-\alpha)\quad\textrm{i.e}\quad \alpha=\int_{t_{\alpha}}^{+\infty}f_T(t)dt=1-\Phi_T(t_\alpha)$$

with $\Phi_T$ the cumulative distribution of $T$

$\chi^2$ distribution

Notations

Let us note the random variable $K$ that follows a $\chi^2$ distribution of $n$ degrees of freedom, i.e. which is such that:

$$K\sim \chi_n^2$$

We note $q$ the quantile of the distribution.
