Inside:

- x: Value used to evaluate the distribution, is a required parameter.

- deg_freedom: Number of degrees of freedom of the distribution, is a required parameter.

Attention:

- Any argument that is not a number -> the function returns the #VALUE! Error value

- If deg_freedom <1 -> the function returns the #NUM! Error value

- The minimum value of deg_freedom must be equal to 1.

For example:

Calculate the Student t- top right distribution of the values ​​in the following data table:
