value at risk

Ccu6y ago
99% confidence level requires the value at risk (VAR) to be within 2.33 standard deviations from the mean, based on a single tail measure. how is the 2.33 calculated? thanks a lot.

I explain this in my free lectures on VaR :-) (We work backwards using the normal distribution tables provided in the exam)
