How can I compute values for the Q-function:

Probability that a gaussian random variable with zero mean and some variance exceeds a particular value.



Web, Calculator, Pencil???!

Maybe if i mention error function someone will recognize?

Look it up on a table of the Normal distribution comes to mind. But I'm sure there are calculators that will also do that.

A normal distribution table is here:

Here's a site that does that automatically:
