In: Statistics and Probability
For a standard normal distribution, determine the probabilities
in parts a through d below.
a. Find P(z ). ?1.59
P(z ) ?1.59 = (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
b. Find P(z ). ? ?1.21
P(z ) ? ?1.21 = (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
c. Find P( z ). ?0.83? ?1.78
P( z ) ?0.83? ?1.78 = (Round to four decimal places as
needed.)
d. Find P( z ). 0.33? ?2.19
P( z ) 0.33? ?2.19 = (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

Solution :
Using standard normla table,
a ) P(Z < 1.59)
To see the z value 0.1 in the column and 0.59 in the row of the
standard normal table the corresponding probability is
Probability = 0.9441
b ) P(Z < -1.21)
To see the z value - 0.1 in the column and 0.21 in the row of the
standard normal table the corresponding probability is
Probability = 0.1131
c) P( ?0.83 z 1.78 )
P (z 1.78 ) - P ( z - 0.83 )
using z table
= 0.9625 - 0.2033
= 0.7592
Probability = 0.7592
d) P( 0.33 z 2.19 )
P (z 2.19 ) - P ( z - 0.33 )
using z table
= 0.9857 - 0.6293
= 0.3564
Probability = 0.3564
