How to Calculate Normal Probabilities
TI 83 / TI 84
1. From your home screen:
Go into your distributions menu
Arrow down to
2. The form you use is
2nd DISTR
2: normalcdf(
normalcdf (lower value, upper value, mean, st.dev)
For P(a<X<b)
enter normalcdf (a, b, mean, st. dev)
For P(X<b)
enter normalcdf (-1E99, b, mean, st. dev)
For P(X>a)
enter normalcdf (a, 1E99, mean, st. dev)
The E in -1E99 and 1E99 is gotten by pressing 2nd EE (above the comma)
3. If you leave off the mean and the st. dev. and close the parentheses after your
upper value, the calculator assumes that the mean is 0 and the st. dev. = 1. In
other words, you will get the probabilities for the Standard Normal Distribution
Z
N (0,1)
4. To calculate Percentiles k:
From your home screen:
a. Use
3: invNorm(
(in DISTR menu)
b. The form you will use is invNorm(percentile, mean, st. dev)
Enter the percentile in decimal form. The calculator will give the critical value k.

ANOVA
1. Enter your data:
 Press the STAT key and select 1: Edit
 Enter each group of means into a list: L1, L2, etc. for as many groups
as you are testing. For example, if there are three groups of means,
you will enter group 1 means in L1, group 2 means in L2, and group 3
means in L3.
2. Run the ANOVA test:
 Press the STAT key and arrow over to TESTS
 Press the up arrow key once. The ANOVA test is the last test on the
list in your calculator. It is either choice F: ANOVA on the TI83 or
choice H: ANOVA on the TI84. Press ENTER.
 The words: ANOVA( will appear on your home screen. After the
parentheses, enter the list names that you entered your data into. For
example, if you entered data into L1, L2, and L3, you will enter L1, L2,
L3). Your home screen will say:
ANOVA(L1,L2,L3)
 Press ENTER.
3. Reach the test statistic and the p-value for your test:
 The test statistic is the first number given after F=
 The p-value is the second number given after p =
 The df for the numerator is given after FACTOR. The df for the
denominator is given after ERROR. The other numbers given are
used in manual calculations.
