The following figure will appear.

Note: that the probability is 97.8 percent that the maximum deflec-
tion is below the value of 2.0 mm. After reviewing the information,
choose File>Close.

(d) Inverse problem
You will also determine the maximum deflection that will give a 90
percent probability that the deflection is below that value.
Main Menu> Prob Design> Prob Results-Statistics>
Inverse Prob

Choose DEFMAX for the Prob Design Variable.
Enter 0.90 for the Target Probability.
OK.
