While you can use the table, and it is worth learning, the calculator can be used, too.
\n" ); document.write( "2nd VARS 2 normal cdf
\n" ); document.write( "-2.46,-0.16 ENTER
\n" ); document.write( "0.4295. This makes sense, because it is almost half of the curve from -3 to 0.
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "For -z \n" ); document.write( "This is centered on z=0
\n" ); document.write( "half of this is 0.2794
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, from the table, you want where z is 0.5+/- 0.2794, or where the prob is 0.2206 and 0.7794
\n" ); document.write( "this is at 0.77 and -0.77. Find the four digit probability in the middle of the table and look to the left margin for the unit or tenth of a unit. The top margin will be the hundredths of a unit. Most of the time, a z to the nearest hundredth is what is desired. This should be symmetrical, and it is.\r
