Solutions

Expert Solution

a) P(0 < Z < 2.63) =

= P(z < 2.63) - P(z < 0)

Using excel function:

= NORM.S.DIST(2.63, 1) - NORM.S.DIST(0, 1)

= 0.4957

b) P(0 < Z < 2) =

= P(z < 2) - P(z < 0)

Using excel function:

= NORM.S.DIST(2, 1) - NORM.S.DIST(0, 1)

= 0.4772

c) P(−2.60 ≤ Z ≤ 0) =

= P(z < 0) - P(z < -2.6)

Using excel function:

= NORM.S.DIST(0, 1) - NORM.S.DIST(-2.6, 1)

= 0.4953

(d) P(−2.60 ≤ Z ≤ 2.60) =

= P(z < 2.6) - P(z < -2.6)

Using excel function:

= NORM.S.DIST(2.6, 1) - NORM.S.DIST(-2.6, 1)

= 0.9907

(e) P(Z ≤ 1.63)

= P(z < 1.63)

Using excel function:

= NORM.S.DIST(1.63, 1)

= 0.9484

(f) P(−1.15 ≤ z) = P(z > -1.15)

= 1 - P(z < -1.15)

Using excel function:

= 1 - NORM.S.DIST(-1.15, 1)

= 0.8749

(g) P(−1.60 ≤ Z ≤ 2.00)

= P(z < 2) - P(z < -1.6)

Using excel function:

= NORM.S.DIST(2, 1) - NORM.S.DIST(-1.6, 1)

= 0.9225

(h) P(1.63 ≤ Z ≤ 2.50)

= P(z < 2.5) - P(z < 1.63)

Using excel function:

= NORM.S.DIST(2.5, 1) - NORM.S.DIST(1.63, 1)

= 0.0453

(i) P(1.60 ≤ Z) = P(z > 1.6)

= 1 - P(z < 1.6)

Using excel function:

= 1 - NORM.S.DIST(1.6, 1)

= 0.0548

(j) P(|Z| ≤ 2.50)

= P(-2.5 < z < 2.5)

= P(z < 2.5) - P(z < -2.5)

Using excel function:

= NORM.S.DIST(2.5, 1) - NORM.S.DIST(-2.5, 1)

= 0.9876
