Let Z ∼ N (0, 1) be a standard normal random variable. Find c by using only one side of the z-table for all questions:

(a) P[Z < c] = 0.8980 (b) P[Z > −c] = 0.8980 (c) P[Z > c] = 0.102 (d) P[Z > c] = 0.992

(e) P[Z < −c] = 0.992 (f) P[Z < c] = 0.992 (g) P[|Z| < c] = 0.4246 (h) P[|Z| > c] = 0.1528

(i) P[|Z| < c] = 0.984 (j) P[|Z| > c] = 0.984 (k) P[|Z| < c] = 0.204 (l) P[|Z| > c] = 0.204

Expert Solution

(a)Given P[Z < c] = 0.8980

P[Z < c] =P[-Z < c]=0.8980

P[0Z < c]=.898-0.5=0.3980.refer the table attached

c=1.27

(b) P[Z > −c] = 0.8980

P[Z > −c] = P[-cZ 0]+P[0Z < ]=0.8980

P[-cZ 0]=.898-0.5=0.3980.

-c=-1.27,c=1.27

(c) P[Z > c] = 0.102

P[Z > c]=o.5-P[0Z < c]=0.102

P[0Z < c]=0.5-.102=0.3980

c=1.27

(d) P[Z > c] = 0.992

P[Z > c]=P[0Z < c]+P[0Z < ]=0.992

P[0Z < c]=0.992-0.5=0.4920

(e) P[Z < −c] = 0.992

P[Z <- c] =P[-Z 0]=0.992

P[0Z <- c]=.0.992-0.5=0.4920

-c=2.3333, c=-2.333

(f) P[Z < c] = 0.992

P[0Z < c]=0.5-.0764=0.4236

(i) P[|Z| < c] = 0.984

P[-cZ 0]+P[0Z < c]= 0.984

=2*P[0Z < c]= 0.984 (since normal curve is symmetric)

P[0Z < c]=0.4920

c=2.333

(j) P[|Z| > c] = 0.984

P[|Z| > c]=P[Z <- c]+=P[Z >c]=0.984
