Hi all,

I am interested in taking a normal distribution with mean and standard
deviation known, and partitioning it into n equiprobable intervals.
This means that the area under the curve on each interval will be 1/n.
I know how to define the pdf, but I am at a loss as to how to design
some type of loop (?) that will accomplish this task.

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
Susan
