Hi Larry,
My statistics are pretty rusty, so I have no idea if this is
meaningful, but solving for Z algebraically gives you:
Z = (NORMSINV(1-X/2)*Y/Answer)^2

Ok, I'll admit it right now.
I don't have as many brain cells as I used to and I need help.
I have the following formula in Excel and I'm trying to reverse it....
Answer =NORMSINV(1-X/2)*Y/SQRT(Z)
At the Microsoft support site it says this returns the same value as
Answer =CONFIDENCE(X,Y,Z)
and indeed it does.
I have the value for Answer, and the values of X and Y.
What formula do I need to get the value of Z?
Thanks in advance.
I'm going to take some aspirin now...
