Suppose that y has a normal distribution with mean 1 and variance 9. What is the probability that y is in the interval [.7, 2.5]?
We are given
y has normally distributed with mean
= 1 and standard deviation
=3
P[ 0.7
y
2.5 ] = P[( 0.7 -
)/
(y-
)/
(2.5 -
)/
]
P[ 0.7
y
2.5 ] = P[ (0.7-1)/3
Z
(2.5-1)/3]
P[0.7
y
2.5 ] = P( -0.10
Z
0.5)
= P( Z
0.5 ) - P( Z
-0.10)
= 0.6915 - 0.4602
P( 0.7
y
2.5) = 0.2313
