The calculator provides for values of the upper-tail (cumulative) distribution 
function for the 
χ
2
-distribution using [UTPC] given the value of x and the 
parameter 
ν.  The definition of this function is, therefore, 
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).  For example, UTPC(5, 2.5) = 
0.776495…
Different probability calculations for the Chi-squared distribution can be defined 
using the function UTPC, as follows:
Θ P(X<a) = 1 - UTPC(
ν,a)
Θ P(a<X<b) = P(X<b) - P(X<a) = 1 - UTPC(
ν,b) -  (1 - UTPC(ν,a)) = 
UTPC(
ν,a) - UTPC(ν,b)
Θ 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 
function (pdf) is given by
