Thread: Statistics...

  1. #1
    anyone want to help me with some stats work...?

    "Find the 1 percentile of the standard Normal distribution to (at least) 2 decimal places. "

    wtf??

    "X stands for the Normal random variable with mean 5 and standard deviation 3.

    Find:
    P( X < 12.17 )
    P( X > 12.68 )
    P( -2.59 < X < 6.44 )
    P( X < 1.88 or X > 8.12 )"

    the first one to give the correct answers and sit the test for me gets a lollipop...

    Just shove it into Excel and it will do it for you.

    download SPSS for windows and just give in the info, one click on a button and you have a nice diagram, and even a boxplot if you like

    I don&#39;t think you should use a Gauss-curve here by the way, but you better ask someone else, because I&#39;m not too good at math (maybe if you ask Lamsey nicely he&#39;ll help you out a bit )

    myself and tc were trying today, but i think we asked him a little too much and annoyed him...

    it might be cos i stole his hat, or beat him at pool or something, i&#39;m not sure

    anyway, thanks for the help guys, i still failed the test though

    edit: lmfao...i just checked there and i actually passed

    i just assumed i was gonna fail
