How to skew a normal Distribution?
David.
Please do not cross-post. Collabs will generally scan all sections. The "probability..." section seems just fine or your question.
It does help to attach your file in Mathcad 11 (or older) .MCD file format, because many users use that version.
Note also that you can edit(including change of attachments), and even delete your own posts.

The problem is not skew !
If you have attempted a rnorm, the fit will be the normal distribution, no argument on that. If you have a data set that you want to fit, you can't figure in advance the best fit, the problem is one of curve fitting. Pass just the data set in a Mathcad input table, just as you have. Save as version 11.
