4 Solve problems concerning a variable X, where 𝑋~𝑁(𝜇, 𝜎 2 ), Extended
Including Abstract

1. find the value of 𝑃(𝑋 > 𝑥1 ), or related probability, given the value of 𝑥1 , 𝜇 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝜎

2. Finding a relationship between 𝑥1 , 𝜇 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝜎 given the value of 𝑃(𝑋 > 𝑥1 ) or a related probability

For calculation involving standardisation, full details of the working should be shown.

8 Recall conditions under which the normal distribution can be used as an approximation to the Relational
binomial distribution, and use this approximation, with a continuity correction, in solving problems
