[R] Percentage area of a distribution

2007-05-01 Thread Alan Gibson
It seems like this should be pretty straight forward, but for some
reason the answer escapes me.

I have a normal distribution S made up of two normal distributions C
and C-bar. I need to find the percentage of the area of S that both C
and C-bar occupy.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Alan Gibson

let me amend my previous message to remove a silly mistake:

I have a (non-normal) distribution S that is a mixture of two normal
distributions C and C-bar. I need to find the percentage of the area
of S that both C and C-bar occupy.

Thanks again,
Alan Gibson

 What do you mean by a normal distribution made up of to normal
 distributions ? A mixture of two
 Normals with different variances doesn't result in a normal distribution

 Nean but maybe someone else does. No offense intended but, if noone
 replies,
 That means that noone else understood either.
