Abstract
A Bayesian technique is used to approximate the tail probability of the t-distribution. A set of upper and lower bounds are obtained for this probability. Based on their simplicity and accuracy, these bounds are very adequate to use. Some members of these bounds are compared to some existing approximations. The possibility of using this new procedure for some other distributions is explored.
