Normal Distribution Analysis [in RUN-MAT] cont.
Data that you have entered in the ‘List’ can also be used to model the data to be normally distributed, that is, assuming
the data is normally distributed. By using the z-score transform and using ‘µ’ and ‘
�
’ generated from the data in the list
will be used to do the appropriate normal distribution calculations.
Enter the data into a list space and then generate the summary statistics associated with the data. Make a note of the
required information and in RUN-MAT mode generate the desired calculations based on the Normal Distribution.
