Re: web page to help use normal table

2001-07-29 Thread EAKIN MARK E

Cantor,
   Thanks, I have fixed this.

   The reason for the page was to show my students how to use a
particular normal table. I had noticed several of my business students
having trouble using the normal table.  I hope that this page
illustrates most of the different ways that probabilities can be asked
using one or two z values.  
   I appreciate Dennis's comments and will try to add more explanation to
the page.

Re: web page to help use normal table

2001-07-28 Thread Donald Burrill

Use the table twice -- for P(0Zz1) and P(0Zz2) -- and then subtract 
or add, depending on whether the desired signs of z1 and z2 are the same 
or different.   -- DFB.

Re: web page to help use normal table

2001-07-27 Thread Dennis Roberts

i visited this page ... here are a few comments

1. you have 9 scenarios on the page but, really ... you don't need that many

area above/below a point
area between or beyond 2 points

so ... i would reduce the number of basic graphs that you present

2. if you reduce 1 above  then you can put BOTH the graphs AND the 
dialogs that visitors fill in on the same page ...

let's say that the problem is ... area above or below a point ...

you have a graph shown ... with mythical point shown ... but, visitor in a 
box ... enters their OWN z ... then you give back to them ... area below 
AND the area above ... kill two birds with one stone

for area between or beyond two points  same idea ...one graph ... 2 zs 
they input ... then, you return area BETWEEN and area BEYOND ...

3. also ... you need a few more WORDS to people as to what to do ... now, 
most will figure out you ENTER some z into the input box but ... it is not 
obviously clear that you do that ... so TELL them how to use it ... can't hurt

there are a number of these routines available in other places such as ...
