5a. [2 marks]
A random variable Z is normally distributed with mean 0 and standard deviation 1. It is
known that P(𝑧 < −1.6) = 𝑎 and P(𝑧 > 2.4) = 𝑏. This is shown in the following diagram.

Find P(−1.6 < 𝑧 < 2.4). Write your answer in terms of 𝑎 and 𝑏.
5b. [4 marks]
Given that 𝑧 > −1.6, find the probability that z < 2.4 . Write your answer in terms of 𝑎 and 𝑏.

5c. [1 mark]
A second random variable 𝑋 is normally distributed with mean 𝑚 and standard deviation 𝑠.
It is known that P(𝑥 < 1) = 𝑎.
Write down the standardized value for 𝑥 = 1.
