The (100 u)th percentile for a normal distribution, denoted
by xu , can be computed in R by using the command
qnorm(u,mu,sigma)
Find the quartiles of N(0, 1).
Find the quintiles of N(100, 25).
What is the median of N(50, 10)? You dont need R for this
one.
(100 u)th percentile xu of a N(, 2 ) and that of zu of
N(0, 1) are related as follows
xu = zu +
and zu =
xu
.
