normalcdf(
computes the normal distribution probability
between
lowerbound
and
upperbound
for the specified
mean
m
and standard deviation
s
. The defaults are
m
=0
and
s
=1.

invNorm(
computes the inverse cumulative normal
distribution function for a given
area
under the normal
distribution curve specified by mean
m
and standard
deviation
s
. It calculates the
x
value associated with an
area
to the left of the
x
value. 0
area
1 must be true.
The defaults are
m
=0 and
s
=1.

tpdf(
computes the probability density function (pdf) for
the Student-
t
distribution at a specified
x
value.
df
(degrees
of freedom) must be >0. To plot the Student-
t
distribution,
paste
tpdf(
to the
Y=
editor. The probability density
function (pdf)
is:
