After each label's section in the program listing below, the checksum and length are displayed in parentheses to the right of the page. These should match what you see on your HP 33S if you have entered the program correctly. To see each checksum once you have completely entered the program below, while still in program mode, press ¹uÕ...

HP 33S Normal distribution applications Practice solving problems involving the normal distribution Example 1: Find Q(x) for a Z value of +1. Make sure the HP 33S is in RPN mode. Solution: With the input value given as a Z-score, we're dealing with the standardized normal distribution having a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.
