Description

 

 

]F

Calculates a cumulative normal probability

 

given a Z-value.

]o

Calculates a Z-value given a cumulative

 

normal probability.

F

 

 

 

]I

Calculates the cumulative Student’s T

 

probability given degrees of freedom and a

 

T-value.

 

 

]o

Calculates a T-value given degrees of

 

freedom and the cumulative Student’s T

I

probability.

 

 

]<

Calculates number of permutations of n items

 

taken r at a time.

]9

Calculates number of combinations of n taken

 

r at a time.

]E

Calculates factorial of n (where -253 < n <

 

253).

Enter .5 as a Z-value and calculate the cumulative probability of the Z-value and the Z-value from a given cumulative probability.
