distribution curve (skewness)

[hendra]

Hi all,

How can i draw a distribution curve (normal curve) which skew to th
left or right?Thank

The normal distribution is not skewed.

The gamma distribution is skewed, and Excel will calculate its probability
density function.

Checked XL help for 'gamma distribution' (w/o the quotes)?

Check Jerry's reply for whether the gamma distribution is the same as the
normal distribution. One *cannot* be skewed, the other can be.
