    This document provides the step-by-step solution to Exercise 48 from the 7th edition of the textbook "Elementary Statistics: A Step by Step Approach" by Bluman. The exercise asks to determine the z-scores that correspond to a given probability of 48% for the standard normal distribution being between those z-scores. The solution shows that by using the properties of the normal distribution and values from Table E, the z-scores must be ±0.64.

    Step 1 1 of 2

    Given:

    P (−z < Z < z) = 48% = 0.48

    Table E contains the probability of values smaller than a certain z-score of the standard normal distribution.

    The standard normal distribution is symmetric about 0, thus:

    P (−z < Z < z) 0.48


    P (−z < Z < 0) = = = 0.24
    2 2
    ​ ​

    The standard normal distribution is symmetric about 0 and the total probability is 1, thus the probability of values smaller
    than 0 will be 0.5. Then we obtain:

    P (Z < −z) = 0.50 − 0.24 = 0.26

    Determine the corresponding z-score in table E:

    −z = −0.64

    Thus the two z-scores are then z = 0.64 and z = −0.64.
