Dear All: good morning Suppose X has a Laplace distribution with mean 105 and variance 100. *How to compute the probability P(X > 100) using R.* Any help will be highly appreciated. with thanks abou ______________________ AbouEl-Makarim Aboueissa, PhD Department of Mathematics and Statistics University of Southern Maine

what has this to do with "teaching R / teaching statistics using R"?
It looks like a basic question about R or the availability of R
packages for "the" Laplace distribution.

which could also be answered by reading the Wikipedia page about

Dear All: I am teaching a nonparametric course, and want to compute the power of the sign test assuming that the x's has laplace distribution under Ha. what is wrong with that. any way thank you very much with thanks abou On Tue, Apr 18, 2017 at 8:38 AM, Martin Maechler <maechler at stat.math.ethz.ch

I think it's fine to teach a nonparametric statistics course, and it's fine to compute the power of the sign test. However, your question is not about using R in teaching. It is just about using R to compute probabilities under a Laplace distribution. Your question does not belong on this listserv; it should go to the main r-help listserv instead. This has been pointed out to you several times and yet you keep doing this, which I suspect annoys people. As far as your substantive question goes, did you try Googling "r laplace distribution"? I get a number of useful hits. On Tue, Apr 18, 2017 at 8:40 AM, AbouEl-Makarim Aboueissa <
