You can calculate and graph normal probability distributions for single-variable
statistics.
u u u u u Normal probability distribution calculations
Use the RUN Mode to perform normal probability distribution calculations. Press
K in the RUN Mode to display the option number and then press 6 (g)
3 (PROB) 6 (g) to display a function menu, which contains the following
items.
• { P(}/{Q(}/{R(} ... obtains normal probability {P( t )}/{Q( t )}/{R( t )} value
• { t (} ... {obtains normalized variate t ( x ) value}
• Normal probability P( t ), Q( t ), and R( t ), and normalized variate t ( x ) are
calculated using the following formulas.
P( t ) Q( t ) R( t )

Example The following table shows the results of measurements of the
height of 20 college students. Determine what percentage of
the students fall in the range 160.5 cm to 175.5 cm. Also, in
what percentile does the 175.5 cm tall student fall?
Class no. Height (cm) Frequency
1 158.5 1
2 160.5 1
3 163.3 2
4 167.5 2
5 170.2 3
6 173.3 4
7 175.5 2
8 178.6 2
9 180.4 2
10 186.7 1
