Question

1. Suppose that a continuous probability function has a density curve, and 25.6% of the area under this density curve is shaded. What probability does that shaded region represent?

Probability (give your answer as a decimal): 

2. 

Express the region that is described below as a probability.

The area under a continuous density curve between x=−1.21x=-1.21  and x=1.96x=1.96 , where the horizontal axis is scaled in units of the random variable xx .

  • P(−1.21<xorx<1.96)P(-1.21<xorx<1.96)
  • P(1.96<x<−1.21)P(1.96<x<-1.21)
  • P(x<−1.21or1.96<x)P(x<-1.21or1.96<x)
  • P(x<−1.21and1.96<x)P(x<-1.21and1.96<x)
  • P(−1.21<x<1.96)
