Answer to Problem 19SE
The standard normal area for
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
Normal distribution:
A continuous random variable X is said to follow normal distribution if the probability density function of X is,
Standard normal distribution:
A continuous random variable Z is said to follow standard normal distribution if the probability density function of Z is,
For a standard normal variable it is known that,
The probability
Calculate the value of
From Appendix C-2: Table “CUMULATIVE STANDARD NORMAL DISTRIBTION”,
- Locate the z value –1.2 in column of z.
- Locate the probability value corresponding to z-value –1.2 in the column 0.08.
Thus,
Hence, the standard normal area for
b.
