Statistical Tables?

Hi there

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the second and third paragraph at the start of CH4...to quote:

"All of the relevant formulae for the values you need for these distributions are contained in the tables............."

"Also, in order to find many of the probabilities you will require statistical tables. These are available from the profession and you should purchase a copy as soon as possible........."

From the way it is worded it almost sound like the 'statistical tables' are different from the 'tables' which I take to be the Formulae & Tables for Actuarial Exams of which I do own a copy.

Are they in fact one and the same or do I need to purchase the 'statistical tables' separately?

Cheers

 

Thanks!
