If P(-2 < Z < k)=.6 , where Z is a standard normal random variable, then k is... Select one: a. 0.195 b. 0.73 c. 0.55 d. -0.40

Solutions

Expert Solution

P(-2 < z < k) = 0.60
P(z < k) - P(z < -2) = 0.60

From the z-table,
P(z < -2) = 0.0228 (shown in the figure below)

P(z < k) - 0.0228 = 0.60
P(z < k) = 0.6228

From the z-table,
k = 0.31 corresponds to the p-value of 0.6228

Note: There is no option matching the k-value. The answer solved here is correct as per the question. Either the question might have been incorrectly posted, please check if there are any incorrect figures OR the options are incorrect.

Converting P(0.15 ≤ p ≤ 0.19) to the standard normal random variable z for a sample of 500 households gives P(−1.19 ≤ z ≤ 1.19). This is the probability that a sample of 500 households will provide a sample proportion within 0.02 of the population proportion, 0.17, of households that spend more than $100 per week on groceries. Use a table to compute P(−1.19 ≤ z ≤ 1.19), rounding the result to four decimal places. P(−1.19 ≤ z ≤ 1.19)...
