[SOLVED] Comparing two distributions

$

Hi all,

let's say that I have two distributions:

Code:

1.4%        1.6%
2.4%        2.8%
3.5%        3.9%
4.0%        4.5%
4.2%        4.7%
3.9%        4.4%
3.5%        4.1%
2.8%        3.4%
2.9%        3.4%
3.6%        3.9%
4.3%        4.5%
5.1%        5.2%
6.1%        6.0%
6.8%        6.5%
7.9%        7.4%
8.8%        8.0%
9.1%        8.1%
8.1%        7.1%
5.9%        5.2%
3.5%        3.1%
1.7%        1.5%
0.7%        0.6%

How would I test, whether those are similar? I'd like to create a variable that would describe the similarity with a percentage i.e. "The distributions are 80% similar". How would I go about that matter? Do i divide each number by its adjacent number and do something with the result? I guess this question involves some statistical knowledge more than vba but I'm 100% certain that many people on this forum are wise enough to solve such trivial problems within seconds.

Big thanks in advance for any help!
