2. Vocabulary and R functions (be sure to include an APA citation)

a) The normal distribution: according to Yakir (2011), the normal distribution is a very
common and generic distribution that can be used for many values that are continuously
distributed in its sample space. This distribution is generally bell-shaped and has a
symmetrical wave.

b) The pnorm function provides the quantile of the normal distribution at a specified
cumulative density. In addition, it’s a function to calculate probability or cumulate
distribution.

3. Task

With qnorm() function returns the quantiles with the mean and standard deviation. It
gives the upper and lower tails.
So, in this case, let us suppose that the lowest 1% will have a mean of 5 while the
standard deviation will be 2.
> qnorm(0.01,mean=5,sd=2)
[1] 2.020956
While the highest 1%
> qnorm(0.99,mean=5,sd=2)
[1] 8.97904
