2 Similar to the normal distribution in shape but with more area under the tails and is defined by the number of degrees of freedom. HAWKES LEARNING SYSTEMS math courseware specialists Student t-Distribution: Continuous Random Variables 6.5 Finding t-Values Using the Student t-Distribution 1.A t-curve is symmetric and bell-shaped, centered about 0. 2.A t-curve is completely defined by its number of degrees of freedom, d.f. 3.The total area under a t-curve equals 1. 4.The x-axis is a horizontal asymptote for a t-curve. Properties of a Student t-Distribution:
