Probabilities for the Normal Distribution |
Return to Seeing Statistics Normal Probability Examples | |
|
How-To: Enter beginning and ending z-scores in the Start and End boxes. The figure is redrawn and the new probability is calculated after hitting the return key while the cursor is in one of the boxes. For open-ended ranges (i.e., finding the proportion of observations that will lie below a given value or above a given value), use a very large number for the other end (10 is large in this context). |

Change the numbers in the Mean and StDev boxes as appropriate
and then enter the appropriate Start and End values.
Remember to hit the Return key in the last box
you enter to start the calculations and redrawing.
