Hi, i am trying to determine a certain probability and i am unsure if the commands i have entered into R are correct. I am trying to determine how unusual it would be to find something with the value 417 for a set of numbers with mean 1454.190 and standard deviation 162.6301. The command i entered was: >pnorm (417, 1454.190, 162.6301) Which returned: [1] 8.99413e-11 I am unsure how to interpret this number as it is, and hence whether i have entered the appropriate commands for what i am trying to find out. If the commands are correct, how can i simplify the answer to understand the probability?
Thanks in advance, R. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Finding-a-probability-tp19173491p19173491.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
