Given a normal distribution with u = 70 and o= 20, what is the probability that
Given,
= 70 , = 20
We convert this to standard normal as
P(X < x) = P( Z < x - / )
a)
P(X > 110) = P(Z > (110 - 70) / 20 )
= P(Z > 2)
= 0.0228
b)
P(X < 10) = P(Z < 10 - 70 / 20)
= P(Z < -3)
= 0.0013
c)
P(X < 70 OR X > 130) = 1 - P(70 < X < 130)
= 1 - [ P(X < 130) - P(X < 70) ]
= 1 - [ P(Z < 130 - 70 / 20) - P(Z < 70 - 70 / 20) ]
= 1 - [ P(Z < 3) - P(Z < 0) ]
= 1 - [ 0.9987 - 0.5]
= 0.5013
d)
= 1 - 0.70 = 0.30
Z/2 = Z0.15 = 1.0364
70% of the values lies between
Z *
= 70 1.0364 * 20
70 - 1.0364 * 20 and 70 + 1.0364 * 20
49.27 and 90.73
