Thank u all for ur reply (Bill and peter). Your suggested solutions
work fine and they helped me out.
Also, I am interetstd to plot my data on a standard normal probability
paper. is it possible to make a normal probability paper with Mathematica? On
a normal probability paper, one axe blongs to population(set of data) and
another one, vertical axe mostly, belongs to cumulative distribution. last
axe is sacled specially.
Best regards,
