    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
