Thanks for your help,
I still don't understand how to get the result 0.544945 by calculator. if i try it manually (by interpolation) it is no problem. by calclator it equals .643312. do you know what i have to type in to get the right result?
Well, if I type in 0 1 .1129 [+/-] UTPN [ENTER] on any RPL
calculator, it returns .544945081834.
11.5 961 .1129 UTPN [ENTER] returns .643311996636.
My guess is that you're misinterpreting your normal distribution
table. With a variance of 961, the standard deviation is 31. The
difference between your mean and x values is 11.5-.1129=11.3871, so
your x value is 11.3871/31=.367325806452 standard deviations below
the mean, so try .3673 in your normal distribution table.
Regards,
James
