Find the probability using the standard normal distribution calculator

Normal Distribution Calculator

The normal distribution calculator works just like the TI 83/TI 84 calculator normalCDF function. It takes 4 inputs: lower bound, upper bound, mean, and standard deviation.  You can use the normal distribution calculator to find area under the normal curve.  Then, use that area to answer probability questions. You can also use the normal distribution calculator to find the percentile rank of a number.   Do this by finding the area to the left of the number, and multiplying the answer by 100.

Find the probability using the standard normal distribution calculator

The lower bound is the left-most number on the normal curve’s horizontal axis.  For negative infinity enter -1E99.  The upper bound is the right most number on the normal curve’s horizontal axis.

Find the probability using the standard normal distribution calculator

For positive infinity enter 1E99.  Then, enter the mean and standard deviation.  If you are using z-scores for the lower and upper bounds, make sure you enter a mean of 0, and a standard deviation of 1.

If you want to learn how to find the area under the normal curve using the z-table, then go and check out How to Use the Z-Table to find Area and Z-Scores.

Enter mean (average), standard deviation, cutoff points, and this normal distribution calculator will calculate the area (=probability) under the normal distribution curve.

How do you find probability using standard normal distribution?

Use the standard normal distribution to find probability. The standard normal distribution is a probability distribution, so the area under the curve between two points tells you the probability of variables taking on a range of values. The total area under the curve is 1 or 100%.

How do you find probability with normal distribution and standard deviation?

In a normally distributed data set, you can find the probability of a particular event as long as you have the mean and standard deviation. With these, you can calculate the z-score using the formula z = (x – μ (mean)) / σ (standard deviation).

How do you calculate normal probability?

1) Specify the desired probability in terms of ..
2) Transform , and , by: Z = X − μ σ.
3) Use the standard normal N ( 0 , 1 ) table, typically referred to as the -table, to find the desired probability..

What is the probability of z

The probability of randomly selecting a score between -1.96 and +1.96 standard deviations from the mean is 95% (see Fig. 4). If there is less than a 5% chance of a raw score being selected randomly, then this is a statistically significant result.
