How to make a normal curve from a spreadsheet; I had some help but this is how to do it in Libre Office. I can’t find the pages that helped me now, but others have written about this.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Create a scale in a column, in the example, it runs from -4 to +4. It has an average of 0.<\/li>\n
  2. Place the average of the scale and a standard deviation in named cells. In the example below, these are N_AVE (\u03bc) and N_STDEV (\u03c3). The standard deviation should be between the average and the scale limits.<\/li>\n
  3. From the range value, calculate the range scaled by the mean () * stddev ()<\/li>\n
  4. From the scaled range, use the normal distribution function to calculate the normal distribution value which can be charted.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This example shows one row in the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
