HP-67 & Normal Distribution Integral
Hi all.

Yeah. I know. At the time, Normal Distribution and Inverse ND was calculated using constants.

Since the 67 had 224 steps, why wasn’t it possible for the 67, to have a Trapezoidal or Simpson’s routine program with the ND function as the subroutine?

RE: HP-67 & Normal Distribution Integral
I do not think that this is a problem in principle. In the HP 67/97 Math Pac listing there is as well a program for numerical integration. I think that it is a matter of time and convenience. If the approximation is exact to E-4 this is totally sufficient and it is much faster than numeric integration with the same accuracy.

Good point.
