    You are making a difficult subject very manageable. I've never done well in a math class in my life and I currently have a 96.7 average. Long way to go but I'm still amazed. Your videos are a godsend for sure!

    You are a Godsend. You are responsible for my 91% on my Chapter 3 test covering Normal Distributions! Thank you.

    Thank you for show us the written explanations as well. Thank you so much for putting the work in for these videos!!! I wish my professor was as good as you when it comes to explaining the math.

    Finally - someone who is showing what I should do when my calculator is slightly different. Also thanks for spoon feeding me how to get the correct "E" for Eulers entered. That was making me cray-cray. You saved me!

    Does anyone know how to do it, if it says greater than or equal to? I've been searching for days and people only explain the basics.

    • @MathandStatsHelp
      @MathandStatsHelp  Před 2 lety +1

      You would do the same thing as greater than, because it's a continuous distribution and technically something like 1.00000001>1, and there would be a negligible difference in the areas above.

    where to find apps or software for the calculator? mind share the link thankyou

    What are the steps to graph this using the TI-84?

    • @MathandStatsHelp
      @MathandStatsHelp  Před 2 lety

      After entering the data in L1 and L2, hit 2nd y=, 1:StatPlot1, select the histogram, make sure x-list is L1 and Frequency List is L2, hit Zoom, I think it's 9:Stat, and the graph should show up..... I'm going off memory and don't have a calculator handy, so I think I covered everything.....

    I'm stuck on something that is driving me nuts, please help me, The question says X follows N(503,1.6^2)
    and asks to find P(X>505) so I clicked 2ND > VARS > normalcdf > lower: 505 upper: e99 mean:503 std deviation: 1.6 then I clicked enter
    and I got a negative probability.
    Why am I getting a -ve probability ?

    • @MathandStatsHelp
      @MathandStatsHelp  Před 4 lety

      Did you use the EE button by hitting 2nd , (comma button is above the 7) for the 1E99?

    • @layanjabr436
      @layanjabr436 Před 4 lety

      @@MathandStatsHelp no :( I used the e above the divide sign. I did 2nd then divide then I clicked on 9 twice

    • @MathandStatsHelp
      @MathandStatsHelp  Před 4 lety

      That's what is causing the problem. The value is less than 505, so it gave the negative probability. That e is Euler's number.

      Are you hitting the subtraction button instead of the negative? It will give an error for that.
