%C A329281 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_0.95 (also called the 95th percentile).
%C A329281 This number can also be denoted as probit(0.95), where probit(p) is the inverse function of Phi(x). See the Wikipedia link below.
