Re: [Phys-l] Basic statistics

OPPS,
I found a typing error that may create confusion. It is in the third 
paragraph below the figure. Replace -1.5 and 1.5 by -1.67 and 1.67, 
respectively. The sentence should become: "The probability in which we 
are interested is represented by the area between z=-z*=-1.67 and 
z=+z*=1.67.
i am sorry for this.
