Computing areas under the Normal Curve with the TI-83
It's
BUILT IN!
Press [
2nd
][
DISTR
] and select item 2, "
normalcdf(
".
Example:
normalcdf(0,2)
.4772499375
(The area from 0 to 2 is .477... or 47.72%)
You can even specify the average and standard deviation of the curve, i.e.
normalcdf(44.5,55.5,50,5)
.7286677973
(The area under a normal curve centered at 50 with SD 5, from 44.5 to 55.5 is about 72.87%)
