This applet displays the value (quantile) x and the cumulative probability p = F(x) for a variety of distributions. The following distributions can be chosen from the list box:
The quantile x and probability p are shown graphically in terms of either the density function or the distribution function; the type of graph can be chosen from a list box. The parameters of the chosen distribution can be varied with scroll bars. You may have to undock the toolbar to make all of the controls visible. Enter a new value of x in the quantile field or a new value of p in the probability field and then press Enter to update the display.
This applet illustrates the distributions in the list above and the topics and concepts in the list below. Click on the links to learn more about the mathematical theory.

To add the applet to your web page, insert the following in the html file, at the point where you want the applet to appear:
<applet code="edu.uah.math.experiments.QuantileApplet.class" archive="QuantileApplet.jar"
width="650" height="350"></applet>
The jar file and the html file must be in the same folder.
This width and height dimensions are simply suggestions and can be varied. Generally, components such as graphs and tables expand and contract proportionally, while components such as buttons, scrollbars, dice, and coins are fixed in size.
