1.Enter the two degrees of freedom by typing each number followed by Ior

=.

2.Type the number for which you want to calculate the probability, or, for the inverse, the probability for which you want the number.

3.Navigate to the appropriate function in the Probability sub-menu of the Math menu. See Table 2-6. Note: the examples below are calculated with Chain set as the operating mode.
