Betreff: Re: st: RE: Graphical questions(box, histogram, pnorm)

Dear Nick,

thank you very much for your help, however I am still encountering troubles.

1) I checked my ados and executable and they are already up to date.
Is there something else that can I do?

2) I wrote:
histogram return, normal addplot(student(129))
but it doesn't work.

3) For the scatter plot, what should I put on the axis? The p.d.f. of
the Students't?


Thank you very much for any help.

Best,
Bea
