ACTIVITY 1: PRACTICE

1. Compute the probability area to the left of z = -1.25.

0.1056 or
10.56%

-1.25

P (z < -1.25) = 0.1056 or 10.56%

2. Compute the probability area above z = 1.

0.1587 or
15.87%

P (z > 1) = 1 - P (z < 1)
= 1 - 0.8413
= 0.1587 or 15.87%

3. Find the probability area between z = -0.25 and z = 1.5.

0.5319 or
53.19%

P (a < z < b) = P (z < b) - P (z < a)

P ( -0.25 < z < 1.5) = P (z < 1.5) - P (z < -0.25)
= 0.9332 - 0.4013
= 0.5319 or 53.19%
4. Find the 90th percentile of a normal curve.
90% = 0.90

0.90 is between two z-values 1.28 and 1.29

1.28+1.29 2.57

= 2
= 1.285

90%

1.285

5. Compute the upper 5% of the normal curve.

5% = 0.05

0.05 is between two z-values -1.64 and -1.65

−1.64+−1.65 −3.29

= 2
= − 1.645

P (z > -1.645) = 1 - P (z < -1.645)

= 0.95 or 95%
0.95 or 95%

z= σ
P ( -1 < z < 2.5) = P (z < 2.5) - P (z < -1)
