S1 Normal Dist. Quick question
Hey guys,
just wondering for the normal distribution. How do I know which table to use since there are 2 tables. One for percentages and the other for the normal distribution. I lost a substantial ammount of marks because I used the normal distribution table instead of the percentage one

Huh? One table gives you the value of phi(x), I presume, and one the value of phi^-1(x). (I think this is what you're talking about.) If you're looking for a probability, then you need to use the table that gives you a probability (which is the phi table); otherwise, the table that gives you not-a-probability (that is, the inverse phi table, which gives a number of standard deviations).
