Thread: Finding probablity using the standard normal distribution

Can anyone help with the problems below? Please explain, if possible.


Calculate the following probabilities:

i. P(0£ z £ 2.3)
ii. P(0£ z £1.68)
iii. P(0.24£ z £.0.33)
iv. P(-2.58 £ z £ 0)
v. P(-2.81 £ z £. -1.35)
vi. P(-0.73 £ z £ 0.49)
vii. P(z ³ 1.7 )
viii. P(z ³ -0.95)
ix. P( z £ - 1.96) x. P(-1.4 £ z £ 1.55)

How do you work these out? I'm lost.

Hi

You do pretty much the same thing for all of these.
I assume you have some basic knowledge here, understandning that you
have a normalized variable z, with mean 0 and standard deviation 1.

can be calculated using a distribution table. (Google, wikipedia etc).

In this you look up that the probability that is approximately 0.9893.

But you have also that .
And

So 0.9893-0.5 = 0.4893
