DISTR DRAW
instructions draw various types of density
functions, shade the area specified by
lowerbound
and
upperbound
, and display the computed area value.
To clear the drawings, select
1:ClrDraw from the
DRAW
menu (Chapter 8).
Note
: Before you execute a

ShadeNorm( draws the normal density function specified
by mean
m
and standard deviation
s
and shades the area
between
lowerbound
and
upperbound
. The defaults are

=0 and
s
=1.
