st: Finding missing distribution tail and description of the histogram fitted normal curve

[Fotios Drenos <rmhafdr@ucl.ac.uk>]

Dear All, Can anyone help with that?

I have a series of observations that produce a positively skewed 
distribution.  There is reason to believe that the distribution is 
normal but the points describing the left tail are missing.  Using a 
histogram and a normal curve on that seems to be able to give an 
approximate solution but I can't find a way to obtain the mean and 
standard deviation of this fitted distribution.  Does anyone know how 
to obtain those through Stata?  A further complication is that the 
observations are frequency weighed and they are very few, below 10 
observations in total.  Any other ideas of how I can find what the 
expected points in the left tail will be?

Wishes
Fotios
