[extropy-chat] program for p values needed

[spike]

Damien do you know of the normdist and norminv functions
in excel?  With normdist, you give it your x, the mean
and standard deviation of the distribution and the
cumulative, it returns the probability.  The norminv
does the opposite: you give it the p, the mean and
sigma and it returns the inverse normal.

I have found both of these functions enormously
useful in writing stochastic sims.  I have written
a computer sim of myself.  It acts just like me: it
is so realistic that it is trying to write a sim of 
itself.

Not.  {8^D

Do you have microsloth excel?  There is a free java
equivalent.
