Example 1: Find the area that corresponds to z=1. 9

Steps Solution

1. Express the given into a three-digit form.

Z = 1.00

2. In the table, find the row z= 1.0

3. In the table, find the column with the

heading .00.
4. Read the area (or probability) at the

intersection of Row 1.0 and the
column .00.
Example 2: Find the area that corresponds to z=1.54. 10

Steps Solution
1. Express the given into a three-digit form.
Z = 1.54 (as is)

2. In the table, find the row z= 1.5.

3. In the table, find the column with the

heading .04.

Example 3: Find the area that corresponds to z=-2.58. 11

Steps Solution
1. Express the given into a three-digit form.
(as is)

2. In the table, find the row z= 1.3

3. In the table, find the column with the

heading .06.
4. Read the area (or probability) at the
intersection of Row 1.3 and the This area is 0.4951.
column .06.
Example 4. Find the area between
and .

Solution:
Step 1. Sketch the normal curve.  Step 2. Let = area between and .
= area between and .
= area between and .

From the table

1.52 2.5
Hence, the area between and is .
Example 5. Find the area between and .

Solution:
Step 1. Sketch the normal curve. Step 2. Let = area between and .
= area between and . =
area between and .

From the table

-1.35 2.95
Hence, the area between and is 0.9099.
Example 6. Find the area to the right of
.

Solution:
Step 1. Sketch the normal curve.
Step 2. Let = area to the right of .
= area between and .
= area of the half curve
.
From the table

-1.8 Hence, the area to the right of is

Example 6. Find the area to the right of
.

Solution:
Step 1. Sketch the normal curve.
Step 2. Let = area to the right of .
= area between and .
= area of the half curve
.
From the table

-1.8 Hence, the area to the right of is

Example 7. Find the area to the left of .

Solution:
Step 1. Sketch the normal curve.
Step 2. Let = area to the left of .
= area between and .
= area of the half curve
.
From the table

Hence, the area to the left of is

-1.52
