Calculating Probabilities using Normal Distributions


𝜎 𝑋−𝜇
𝑋~N 𝜇, ⎯⎯⎯ 𝑍 = ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯~N(0,1)

𝑛 𝜎 ⁄√ 𝑛
  ⎯⎯
Pr(𝑋 < 𝑎) = normCdf(−∞, 𝑎, 𝜎/√ 𝑛, 𝜇) Pr(𝑍 < 𝑎) = normCdf(−∞, 𝑎, 1,0)
  ⎯⎯ Pr(𝑍 > 𝑎) = normCdf(𝑎, ∞, 1,0)
Pr(𝑋 > 𝑎) = normCdf(𝑎, ∞, 𝜎/√ 𝑛, 𝜇)
  ⎯⎯ Pr(𝑎 < 𝑍 < 𝑏) = normCdf(𝑎, 𝑏, 1,0)
Pr(𝑎 < 𝑋 < 𝑏) = normCdf(𝑎, 𝑏, 𝜎/√ 𝑛, 𝜇)

Inverse Normal Distribution


A reverse process for finding values when given the probability for a normal distribution
𝑥
Probabilities may be given as areas, percentiles (𝑥th percentile = ⎯⎯⎯ ), or quantiles (a decimal).
