Hi Everyone,
You may need to find a critical value for a confidence interval or for some other
application.
If n=20 and you need to use a t score then df=n-1=19
Suppose you have a 95% confidence then take the
1-.95=.05 and take 1/2 of it to get .025 then add it to the .95 to get .975 Do this first and
then do the following
type this in an excel cell
=t.inv(.975,19) and enter.
If you have 35 values and it is a z score with a 95% confidence interval type
=norm.s.inv(.975) and enter.

Normal Distribution in Excel for x or z
Hi Everyone,
To find z scores in excel, type these in a cell
For z < 1.31 or to the left of 1.31
=norm.s.dist(1.31,TRUE) and enter
To the right of or z>-.45
=1-norm.s.dist(-.45,TRUE)
Between -.45 and 1.31 or -.45 < z < 1.31
=norm.s.dist(1.31,TRUE) - norm.s.dist(-.45,TRUE) and enter

Look at x scores
Let's say the mean is 70 and the standard deviation is 10
x < 84
=norm.dist(84,70,10,TRUE)
x> 62
=1-norm.dist(62,70,10,TRUE)
Between 67 and 82
=norm.dist(82,70,10,TRUE)-norm.dist(67,70,10,TRUE)

Let's say you want to find the z score that corresponds to an area of .84 to the left
=norm.s.inv(.84)
Let's say you want to find an x score that corresponds to the area of .84 to the left given
a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 10
=norm.inv(.84,70,10) and enter
Hi Everyone,
These are the ones. If you have used something else then that is fine.
