Question 1:
If X~N(0,1), then P(X≤-1.645)=0.05. Use
the symmetry property of the normal
distribution to find:
a. P(X≥1.645)
Question 2:
If X~N(0,1), then P(X≤-1.645)=0.05. Use
the symmetry property of the normal
distribution to find:
b. P(X>1.645)
Question 3:
If X~N(0,1), then P(X≤-1.645)=0.05. Use
the symmetry property of the normal
distribution to find:
P(-1.645<X<1.645)
