1. What is a percentile? 2. How do you calculate the probability for a particular value of a Random Variable (rv)? 3. How do you calculate the value of a random variable for a particular percentile? 4. How do you calculate the value (of a continuous distribution) between two percentiles? 5. What do you different in the case of a discrete distribution (being approximated by a continuous distribution)?

6. See Homework 2, Problem 1 for the kind of problems we might be expected to solve.
