Hey,

I am in the process of calculating a Weibull Distribution Calculation as follows:
1-Exp[-(6.5/6.0)2] Note: Last figure is a squared value. I am having trouble however remembering the correct input sequence into my sharp scientific calculator. The correct answer is 0.6907, however, I am having trouble finding the correct input sequence to achieve this.

Any ideas!? Much appreciated....

I like to work these from the inside out:

Calculate 6.5/6.0
Square the answer
Multiply it by -1
Get the exp of this value
Multiply it by -1 to negate the exp
Add 1 to this
Answer is 0.6907
