Hi MathGroup members,
While doing numerical search, I came to deadlock;
<<Statistics`ContinuousDistribution`
F = N[CDF[NormalDistribution[0,1], 18], 100]
Accuracy[F]
Mathematica returns 1. and 16,
but I want to increase the number of significant digits of F.
Though I use the function N[expr, 100],
why can't I get the 100-digits accuracy?
Thanks in advance.
