    This document provides the step-by-step solution to Exercise 47 from the textbook "Elementary Statistics: A Step by Step Approach". The exercise involves using a z-table to find the z-score that corresponds to three given probabilities of the standard normal distribution. The solution shows applying the complement rule to convert each probability to the corresponding area under the z-curve, and using the z-table to find the z-score that matches each resulting area. The z-scores obtained are -2.28, -0.92, and -0.27.

    Step 1 1 of 4

    a. Given:

    P (Z > z) = 98.87% = 0.9887

    Table E only contains the probabilities smaller than a z-score, thus we need to use the complement rule:

    P (Z < z) = 1 − P (Z > z) = 1 − 0.9887 = 0.0113

    The corresponding z-score z is then given in row/column title of table E which corresponds to a probability of 0.0113 (or
    the probability closest).

    z = −2.28

    b. Given:

    P (Z > z) = 82.12% = 0.8212

    Table E only contains the probabilities smaller than a z-score, thus we need to use the complement rule:

    P (Z < z) = 1 − P (Z > z) = 1 − 0.8212 = 0.1788

    The corresponding z-score z is then given in row/column title of table E which corresponds to a probability of 0.1788 (or
    the probability closest).

    z = −0.92

    c. Given:

    P (Z > z) = 60.64% = 0.6064

    Table E only contains the probabilities smaller than a z-score, thus we need to use the complement rule:

    P (Z < z) = 1 − P (Z > z) = 1 − 0.6064 = 0.3936

    The corresponding z-score z is then given in row/column title of table E which corresponds to a probability of 0.3936 (or
    the probability closest).

    z = −0.27

    Result 4 of 4

    a. z = −2.28

    b. z = −0.92

    c. z = −0.27
