Navigating Normal Probability with the TI-84

The video tutorial explains how to use the TI-84 calculator to find normal probabilities. It covers calculating the probability of a time range for beating Mega Man X, using the normal CDF function. The tutorial demonstrates finding probabilities for times between two values, less than a value, and greater than a value, emphasizing the importance of knowing the mean, standard deviation, and bounds.

What type of distribution is required to use the normal CDF function on the TI-84 calculator?

• Poisson distribution

• Binomial distribution

• Uniform distribution

• Normal distribution
