Z Tables in VOACAP: Converting Z values to Percentage Values and Corresponding Number of Days

 

Use the two tables below to convert the value of z to the probability (%) value and to the corresponding number of days.

If you are using these tables...

  • for converting a percentage value to days, just find the value. The corresponding number of days is in the right column.
  • for calculating the REL, use Table 1 if the REQ.SNR is lower or equals to the predicted SNR. Use Table 2, if the REQ.SNR is greater than the predicted SNR.
  • for calculating the MUFday, use Table 1 if the FREQ is equal to or below the predicted MUF. Use table 2 if the FREQ is above the predicted MUF.

Table 1.                      Table 2.
