Consider the standard normal distribution with mean = 0, and standard deviation = 1
a. What is the probability that an outcome z is greater than 2.20? b. What is the probability that z is less than 1.1? c. What is the probability that z is between -1.03 and 0.84? d. What value of z cuts off the upper 23% of the standard normal distribution? e. What value of z cuts off the lower 18% of the standard normal distribution?
a) = P(Z > 2.20 ) = P( Z < -2.200 ) = 0.0139 (answer)
b) =P(Z < 1.10 ) = 0.8643 (answer)
c) P ( -1.030 < Z <
0.840 )
= P ( Z < 0.840 ) - P ( Z
< -1.03 ) =
0.7995 - 0.1515 =
0.6480 (answer)
d) Z value at 0.77 = 0.7388 (excel formula =NORMSINV( 0.77 ) )
e) Z value at 0.18 = -0.9154 (excel formula =NORMSINV( 0.18 ) )
