Area Under a Normal Curve (instead of looking in the z-table):

Note: Interval must be standardized (in z-scores) & you need lower or upper bounds.
Example: Area to the left of 0.4: DISTR → #2: normalcdf (-100, 0.4) → ENTER = .6554
Area to the right of 0.4: DISTR → #2: normalcdf (0.4, 100) → ENTER = .3446
Area between -0.4 and 0.4: DISTR → #2: normalcdf (-0.4, 0.4) → ENTER = .3108

Reverse Z-Score (instead of looking in the table):

DISTR (2nd VARS) → #3: invNorm ( → specify the area in the parentheses → ENTER
Example: What z-score corresponds to .975 area to the left? DISTR → #3: invNorm (.975) → ENTER = 1.96

One Simulation of a Binomial Probability Distribution:

Define “failure” & “success” (usually 0 = failure, 1 = success)
MATH → PRB → #7: randBin (defined success, p, n) where p = probability of success; n = # of trials
