Normal Distribution Quantiles
This is probably embarrassingly basic, but I have spent quite a few hours in Google and RSeek without getting a clue - probably I'm asking the wrong questions...
There is this guy who has decided to walk through Australia, a total distance of 4000 km. His daily portion (mean) is 40km with an sd of 10 km. I want to calculate the number of days it takes to arrive with 80, 90, 95, 99% probability.
I know how to do this manually, eg. for 95%
$\Phi \left( \frac{4000-40n}{10 \sqrt{n}} \right) \leq 0.05$
find the z score...
but how would I do this in R? Not qnorm(), but what is it?...

why variations in accuracy between R to ARCGIS for the same point reprojection?
...j=longlat
+datum=WGS84"))
and then reprojecting it to Berhmann with:
spPointReprj=spTransform(Data,CRS("+proj=cea +lon_0=0 +lat_ts=30
+x_0=0 +y_0=0 +ellps=WGS84"))
If I put the two outputs of the reprojections in the same map, they
are off by few meters in the tropics by up to 40km in the poles.
I decided to investigate how the reprojections are done and my
calculations are different from both R and ArcGis:
First, I calculated the radious of the Earth in two different ways:
=Re * (1 - e^2)/ (1 - e^2 *SIN(RADIANS(Latitude))^2)^(3/2)
=Re * SQRT(1 - e^2) / (1 - e^2 * (SIN(RA...
