Perfect, thanks a lot for your help.

Ahh, so integrate between 11.2 and 15 first, to get a value that is normalised to 1... THEN integrate between 11.7 and 12.7 to obtain the fraction of that value that I'm looking for? Thanks so much for your help!

It's just the speed I need to be concerned with. So, would I restrict the Gaussian as you suggested, by setting 10 km/s to equal 0 while 15 equals 1. Then integrate between 11.7 and 12.7? Would a top hat distribution be appropriate perhaps? It really is an estimation - a high degree of...

Hi, thanks for getting back to me. Sorry, It's the speed distribution I'm interested in. And the ejecta is traveling through a vacuum. I know the lower limit of the speed is 11.2 km/s, and the upper is 15. And I want to estimate what fraction of the total is traveling betweem around 11.7 and...

First of all, THIS IS NOT HOMEWORK. It's related to my research. And forgive me if this is rather elementary (sadly, I was something of an underachiever at school, which has left some gaps in my maths education that I've been working on since I returned to education) but I have a question...
