1.\"z=%28600-500%29%2F80\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"z=1.25\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"P%281.25%29=.8944\"
\n" ); document.write( "You can calculate \"P%28-1.25%29=0.10565\" or use symmetry since \"P%281.25%29-P%28-1.25%29=2%2A%28P%281.25%29-P%280%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Either way
\n" ); document.write( "\"P%281.25%29-P%28-1.25%29=0.7887\"
\n" ); document.write( "2. Using EXCEL's NORM.INV function for \"P%28z%29=0.90\", then \"z=602.4\"
