Chapter 2: Main Application 84
• “tail setting” displays the probability value tail specification, and Left, Right, or Center can be specified. Enter
the following values or letters to specify:
Left: −1, “L”, or “l”
Center: 0, “C”, or “c”
Right: 1, “R”, or “r”
When input is skipped, “Left” is used.
• When one argument is omitted (resulting in three arguments), Tail=Left.
• When two arguments are omitted (resulting in two arguments), Tail=Left,
μ =0.
• When three arguments are omitted (resulting in one argument), Tail=Left,
σ =1, μ =0.
• When “tail setting” is Center, the lower bound value is returned.

Example: To determine the upper bound value when tail setting = Left, area
value = 0.7, σ = 2, μ = 35
