Say I measure the height of 1000 people and I have those in a column in excel. It should be a normal distribution with mean x and standard deviation y. How do I actually graph it so I can see the normal distrubution curve that looks something like this:
[url]
I tried making a scatter graph but it graphs them point by point. I want the height to be on the x axis and something like frequency on the y axis.
I know EXCEL has functions for both the NORMAL DISTRIBUTION and the
cumulative value thereof...
but is it possible to graph this data..
(I imagine if I sort the data and then calculate the ***. distributions into
a column...then chart it, it should work; BUT IS THERE ANOTHER WAY?)
i have some number that i want to put in a normal distribution
so.. i have age ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) and have the number of times that the kid wake in the night ( 10, 12, 9,11,8,9,7,9,11) and want to do the normal distribution grafic with that .
How to crate a chart for normal distribution for a set of datas. say marks of students/ number of students in a class
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to make a bell curve (normal gauss distribution). I have some problems regarding the probability density curve, since its values are so low. If you look column N in the attached file - I used the NORMDIST command. Values should be somewhere between 0,2 and 0,4 - but they're about 100x lower.
View 2 Replies View Relatedin VBA the RND function generates a random number using uniform distribution (every number is as likely as any other). Is there a function to generate a random number using normal distribution where the numbers closest to the mean are more likely to occure then numbers further away from the mean. I've created the following custom function to generate a random number between two given values using uniform distribution.
Function RandNum(Min As Double, Max As Double) As Double
RandNum = (Max - Min) * Rnd + Min
End Function
I would like to create a random number based on that data.

I would like to generate a random value using a skewed normal distribution. For inputs I have the sample mean, standard deviation, and skewness. I would like to find a way to generate numbers randomly that would fit the skewed normal distribution described by the inputs.
Some information about skewed normal distributions can be found here: ...
I have weird alpha value like 14.385%, a sample size (36). What is the corresponding critical value for the normal distribution. There are questions like this dealing with the Student T dist, Chi Squared and F distribution. If i can figure out how to do it for one I can probably do it for all of them.
I would like to get random number generator for normal distribution and I’m using:
=NORMINV(RAND(),$B$1,$B$2)
Where B1 is mean (average) and B2 is SD.
This command works, but in the random generating numbers, I’m getting positive and negative numbers (ex. -23,34).
how to change command so I can generate positive only numbers?
I printed my graph after editing it while in normal view. It did not appear on paper like it looked on the screen. I switched to page break preview to see if I could see the problem and noticed that the printed version matched the page break version. I am using text boxes for some of my data on the graph itself, and the boxes, moreso than the bars, appear differently between views. This has never happened before, and I print this graph every month after changing the parameters and data. To my knowledge, I did not change anything out of the ordinary.

I need to know how the values in each row are distributed, and I ideally plot a 2D column graph of the distribution. Is there a way to do that and create/program a macro (with relative button on the workboook) that does it automatically once clicked?
Very often there are outlying values (bigger or smaller by a factor of 1000 or even more), mistakes, which I would like to identify and fix possibly.
I would like to make a scatter graph that will graph the attached. The score would be on the Y axis and the birth date would be on the X axis. This is simple to do by itself but what I would like to do in addition to this is to have the top 25% of the scores a single color, the middle 50% of the scores a second color and then the bottom 25% of the scores to be a third color. And if it is possible to have the ID visible when you move your cursor over a given dot in the graph. Currently when I make a scatter graph the X,Y coordinates show when I hoover the cursor over a dot.

I sometimes come across spreadsheets that have only a few white, "normal" looking cells and the rest are grey with no borders.
Usually there is a thick blue line around the "normal" cells and I can make more cells look "normal" by dragging the blue border line.
What is this? And, how do I set it up in a spreadsheet if I need to?
I am currently using Excel 2007 and I am trying to find a good working formula for Normal Hours worked:
I have the following code for Total Hours, Time and a Half and Double Time hours but I can't seem to get the right formula for working up to 8 hours.
Whereas C11 = Total hours added for the day.
=MOD(SUMPRODUCT(C8:C10-C7:C9),1) =Total Hours Worked
=Normal work hours between 0 to 8 hour work day.
=MIN("04:00",MAX(0,C11-"08:00")) =Time and a Half hours over 8 hours worked.
=MAX(0,C11-"12:00") =Double Time hours over 12 hours worked
What I mean by my "bold" underlines:
QRG5UUl.png
Notice the difference between the bold underline and the normal ones. There is also some weird thing happening where in some cells, when I use the underline feature, it shows as a bold underline, but once I've pressed enter to move on to another cell, the underline reverts back to normal. If I select to edit (F2 or double-clicking) said cell, the underline becomes bold, and vice versa (s3lw.png).
All this started happening immediately after I did this (was just experimenting, and I have no idea what this actually does, or if it was the cause of those occurences): Insert > Symbol > Special Characters > No-width optional break. I did that to just one cell though, and now all this weird stuff is happening.
I would like to create a histogram from experimental data with the normal distribution curve overlaying the histogram.

How can i make a graph that will graph against time? lets say i have a bank balance like this:
1/2/2000 $500
1/3/2000 $600
3/12/2000 $400
there may be more than one entry on any one given day, or there may not be an entry for 2 weeks. How can i graph the running balance in a way that it will show the timeline just as a calendar year(or however long i selected) and the points are plotting according to their date, not just equally spaced out.
I have been working on a problem that requires being able to calculate the chances of any winnng a series of coin tosses with a weighted coin.
The coin has for arguments sake a 65% / 35% chance of landing heads or tails and to win the game you need to hit your side 9 times.
Can you use excel to calculate things like: If heads takes the lead 1-0, what does that mean the its overall percentage chance of winning? If the score is 7-3 to tails, what are the chances of either side gaining victory? etc, etc.
I thought that there would be a way of setting up a spreadsheet that listed the goal (first to 9, 12, 15 or whatever) and below this the percentage chance of heads and the percentage chance of tails. Then somewhere would be a box to enter the current score (0-0, 3-5, 1-1 or whatever) and beside this the current chance of heads or tails gaining victory.
I've tried setting up something like this but am a bit of a dufus when it comes to knowing how, where and when to use the different functions of excel.
I'm looking to analyse is how long these articles take to reach maturity from their date of publication (so, when they achieve their optimum performance).
I'd then like to further analyse this across various metrics like article type/producer etc., which, I guess, would be in some kind of Pivot Table filter-type-thing.
Here's an example of some of my data:
ArticleName - PublishedDate - OctViews - NovViews - DecViews - ArticleType - Producer
Article1 - Oct-08 - 3701 - 4856 - 4561 - Food - ABCTV
Article2 - Nov-08 - 0 - 9824 - 1256 - Food - ABCTV
Article3 - Oct-08 - 1358 - 8953 - 9652 - Tech - XYZ.com
Article4 - Oct-08 - 1351 - 2354 - 3562 - Tech - ABCTV
The part I'm finding tricky is this; what we'd like to do is rather than look at a specific date (say, articles published on 09/04/08) it would be useful to combine all the dates so that the first month something is published is Month 1, regardless of the date it is actually published.
As the same article can be from the same producer but published at different times, if I could remove the "Jan-Mar = Month 1-Month 3" problem it would allow us to graph all the data into one snapshot of the publishing process and find trends. If this could then be cross examinable by the ArticleType etc. it'd be really useful.
