We present probability integrals and inverses for common continuous statisticaldistribution functions. The probability integrals are evaluated by series or continued fractions, identified for the most part by their equation numbers in Abramowitz and Stegun [I]. Sufficient terms are used to insure full accuracy on a machine with 18 decimal digits; the inclusion of additional terms is not difficult, because of the obvious nature of the coefficients in the series and continued fractions. The inverses are obtained by Newtonian iteration, which is terminated when the probability integral is nearly equal to the desired probability.
