4. Determine the x value if X is a normal random
variable with mean 40 and standard deviation 6.
a) ?(? > ?) = 0.5
b) ?(? > ?) = 0.28
c) ?(? < ?) = 0.82
a)
The following information has been provided: P(X>x) = 0.5 or |
b)
The following information has been provided: P(X>x) =0.28 or |
c)
The following information has been provided: μ=40, σ=6 We need to find a score x so that the corresponding cumulative normal probability is equal to 0.82. Mathematically, x is such that: Pr(X≤x)=0.82 The corresponding z score so that the cumulative standard normal probability distribution is 0.82 is zc=0.9154 This value of zc=0.9154 can be found either with Excel, or with a normal distribution table. Hence, the X score associated with the 0.82 cumulative probability is |
