Abstract
Very common statistical methods used in practice are interval estimations, tests of statistical hypotheses and other tests. Using these methods usually requires knowledge of critical values of some distributions. In the case of mentioned application methods are used computer programs, but in other cases it is desirable to have a method of calculating the distribution of the critical values. Article presents methods for calculating the critical values for a standard normal distribution, Student's t-distribution, Fisher-Snedecor F-distribution and χ^2distribution using standard numerical methods, specifically an approximate calculation of definite integrals and approximate calculation of nonlinear equations.
