Percentage Points and Modes of Order Statistics from the Normal Distribution

Abstract

This paper deals with the order statistics from the normal distribution. Equations are obtained for the percentage points and the modal values of the $k$th order statistic in a sample of size $n$. Table I gives some percentage points for selected values of $k$ and $n$. In Table II the modal values of the largest order statistic are given. Appropriate symmetry relations which enable one to obtain certain missing values in Tables I and II are mentioned.
