Comments

z_p is the number z such that Phi(z) = p, where Phi(x) = Integral_{t=-oo..x} (1/sqrt(2*Pi))*exp(-t^2/2)*dt is the cumulative distribution function of the standard normal distribution. This sequence gives z_0.999999.

This number can also be denoted as probit(0.999999), where probit(p) is the inverse function of Phi(x). See the Wikipedia link below.

Example

If X ~ N(0,1), then P(X<=4.7534243088...) = 0.999999, P(X<=-4.7534243088...) = 0.000001.
