For the life of me I can't remember how to do this kind of problem. I know it's really basic, I just can't remember the formula.
This isn't the homework problem, this is a generic version - I need the formulas.
Given a sample of mean u, variance o^2 and sample size n, what is the probability that | u - X | <= d.
I know the formula is P( |N(0,o^2/n)| <= d) = p, but I don't really know how to solve that. I don't really even know what it means, actually.
I also need to know how to work backwards with p given and finding d.
Once again to point out, this ISN'T the actual homework problem, so a complete answer would be nice.
