2 Normal Distribution

1. Find the following probability of Z-values by using the standard normal distribution
table.
Example: Example:
P( Z > 1.5) = 0.0668 P( Z < -0.3) = P( Z > 0.3) = 0.3821

1.5 -0.3 0.3

a) P( Z > 0.89) = b) P( Z > 2.24) =

[0.1867] [0.0123]
c) P(Z < -1.72) = d) P(Z < -0.644) =

[0.0427] [0.2598]
3. Find the following probability of Z-values
Example: Example:
P( Z < 2.2) = 1- P( Z > 2.2) P( Z > -1.83) = 1 – P( Z > 1.83)
= 1- 0.0139 = 1 – 0.0336
= 0.9861 = 0.9664

2.2 -1.83

a) P( Z < 1.45) b) P( Z < 0.714)

[0.9265] [0.7624]
c) P( Z > -1.067) d) P( Z > -0.269)

[0.8570] [0.6060]
4. Find the following probability of Z-values.
Example: a) P( -0.14 < Z < 1.52)
P( -1 < Z < 2) = 1 – P(Z > 2) –P(Z < -1)
= 1 – P(Z > 2) – P(Z >1)
= 1 – 0.228 – 0.1587
= 0.6133

[0.4914]
b) P( -2.02 < Z < 0.689) c) P( -0.837 < Z < 1.97)

d) P( -0.568 < Z < 0.724) e) P( -0.36< Z < 1.58)
