A movie to show how the probability that a standard normal random variable lies within plus or minus a multiple of its standard deviation (that is, 1) varies with the value of the multiple.
normal_areas_movie(starting_multiple = 1, delta_multiple = 1, ndec = 3)Arguments
- starting_multiple
A non-negative numeric scalar. The value of the multiple used in the first plot.
- delta_multiple
A numeric scalar. The amount by which the value of the multiple is increased/decreased after one click of the +/- button.
- ndec
The number of decimal places to which to round the probability that is superimposed on the plot.
Value
Nothing is returned, only the animation is produced.
