Normal horizontiles

Read Original

This article provides a detailed mathematical verification of a calculation related to areas under a normal distribution curve, inspired by an XKCD comic. It explains the process of determining boundary points, calculates areas using multiple integration methods in R, and discusses algebraic simplifications and the closed-form inverse of the normal density function.
