Problem 1

Find z if the probability that a random

variable having the standard normal
distribution will take on a value
Less than z is 0.9911

P(<z) = .9911
.5 +P(z) = .9911
P(z) = .9911 - .5 = .
4911
Z = 2.37

P(>z) = .1093
Greater than z is 0.1093

P(<z) = .5 - .1093 = .
3907
Z = 1.23

Problem 1

Find z if the probability that a random

variable having the standard normal
distribution will take on a value
Greater than z is 0.6443 P(>z) = .6443
.5 + p(z) = .6443
P(z) = 0.1443
Z = - 0.37

Less than z is 0.0217

P(<z) = .0217

Assume Z is negative
.5 P(- Z) = .0217
P(-z) = .4783
Z = - 2.02

Problem 1

Find z if the probability that a random

variable having the standard normal
distribution will take on a value
Between z and z is 0.9298

P(-z)+P(z) = .
9298
P(z) = .9298/2 = .
4649
Z = 1.81

Problem 2
If a random variable has a normal distribution,
what is the probability that it will take on a value
Within one standard
deviation of the mean
Within two standard
deviations of the mean
Within 3 standard
deviations of the mean

P(-1<z<1) = p(-1) +
p(1) = -3413 + .3413 =
.6826
P (-2<z<2) = p(-2) +
p(2) = .4772 + .4772 =
.9544
P(-3<z<3) = p(-3) +
p(3) = .4987 + .4987 =
.9974

Problem 3

Given a random variable having the normal

distribution with = 65 and = 20, find
the probabilities that it will take on a value
Less than 53.2

Z = 53.2-65/20 = -0.59
P(0.59) = .2224
P(<-.59) = .5-.2224 = .
2776

Z = 70 -65/20 = .25

Greater than 70.0

P(.25) = .0987
P(>.25) = .5 p(.25) = .
40125

Problem 3

Given a random variable having the normal

distribution with = 65 and = 20, find
the probabilities that it will
take on a value
P(85.2 < x < 96.3) =
Between 85.2 and 96.3

p(1.01 < z < 1.565) =

p(1.565) p(1.01) =
.4412 -.3438
= .0974

p(58.4 < x < 66.9) =

Between 58.4 and 66.9

p( -.33 < z < .095) =

p(.095) + p(.33) =
.0359 + .1293
= 0.1688

Problem 3

Given a random variable having the normal

distribution with = 65 and = 20, find the
probabilities that it will take
on=a value
P(76)
Of 76.0

p(76-65/20) =
p(.55) = p(.55) p(.54)
= .2088 - .2054
= .0034

P( 72.2 < x. x < 56.9)

Less than 56.9 or greater

= 1 ( p( z < .36) - p (z > - .

405) )
= 1 ( .1406 + .1570)
than
72.2
= .7024

Problem 4

The lengths of a bushing supplied by

ACME company are normally distributed
with mean x-bar. How many standard
deviation units, symmetrical about x-bar,
will include
80 percent of the lengths
90 percent of the lengths

+/- 1.285
+/- 1.645
