Reading Common Statistical Tables

There are four commonly used statistical tables, namely Student’s t, Unit Normal Distribution or Z, chi-square, and F tables. The purpose of this paper is to provide researchers and practitioners a brief description of the tables and how to use them. The T table is used for sample analysis with normal distribution. The Z table is used for population or expected value analysis with normal distribution. The chi square table is used for one sample analysis that is not normally distributed. The F table is used for two samples that are not normally distributed.
