This seems to be the expectation of x for x>c. I used integration by parts and got (DON'T TRUST ME HERE - I haven't done this for a while) Exp(-.5*((c-mu)/sigma)^2) + mu*P(x>c) It's simple enough that it feels right. Tony Peter A.

Mike, thanks for your help. Let me try to clarify what I want. If I have a trial where average response was 2.05 liters, sd 1.74, What I want to find is the cumulative volume of all responses >= 1; and the cumulative volume of all responses <1 Is that any clearer?

I may be missing something here, but can't you simply use the normal distribution with mean=proportion z >= some threshold, q=1-p and variance p(1-p)/n? No integration involved. As I said, I might be missing something!
