Chapter 10: Statistics & Regression Calculations

7. Distribution functions

The calculator has distribution features to find statistical calculations.

To enter the distribution menu,

1. Press

S F (F DISTRI).

The distribution menu will appear.

2. There are 15 options in the

distribution menu. Press
' to navigate between
pages, and press

{ or

} to scroll the window.

3. Press

E to select the function.

4. Input the specified values.

5. Press

E to solve.

01 pdfnorm(

pdfnorm(

value [, mean, standard deviation])

Finds the probability density of the specified value x for the

normal distribution N(

µ, σ

2

). A list cannot be used.

* When mean (

µ) and standard deviation (σ) are omitted, µ = 0

and

σ = 1 are applied.

Example

Find the nominal distribution

probability density for x = 65

when the normal distribution of

the test score averages is 60

with a standard deviation of 6.

02 cdfnorm(

cdfnorm(

lower limit, upper limit [, mean, standard deviation])

Calculates the normal distribution probability of a specified range

x for the normal distribution N(

µ, σ

2

). A list cannot be used.

* When mean (

µ) and standard deviation (σ) are omitted, µ = 0

and

σ = 1 are applied.

Example

Calculate the probability of

range x = 54 to 66 in the above

sample.
