Tables of Distributions
Prior to the current age of computing, probability tables for certain distributions
were part of many text books in probability and statistics. These are not needed
any longer. Most statistical computing packages offer easy-to-use calls to determine
these probabilities and quantiles. This is certainly true of the language R as we have
discussed through out this text. Also, many hand calculators have such functions.
Tables for the following distributions are presented:
Table ISelected quantiles for chi-square distributions.
Table I I Cumulative distribution function for the standard normal random
variable.
Table IIISelected quantiles fort-distributions.
Table IV Selected quantiles forF-distributions.
