Abstract Self-validating computation based on interval arithmetic can produce computed values with a guaranteed error bound. Such methods are especially useful whenever the computed results must satisfy given accuracy requirements. This article reports methods for obtaining self-validating results when computing probabilities and percentiles of univariate continuous distributions. Probability functions dealt with explicitly in the article are normal, incomplete gamma, incomplete beta, and noncentral chi-squared.
