For a given random variable rv, for instance, rv = rnorm(1000),
I plot its density curve and calculate some quantiles:
plot(density(rv))
P10P50P90 = = quantile(rv,probs = c(10,50,90)/100)
I would like to color the area between P10 and P90 and under the curve
and mark the P50 on the curve.

Could you please teach me how to do these using R?
Thanks,
