This document discusses using z-scores and the standard normal distribution to find areas under the normal curve. It provides examples of finding the area that corresponds to a given z-value using z-tables, as well as examples of finding areas between two z-values or to the left or right of a given z-value. The document demonstrates how to use the standard normal distribution and z-tables to calculate probabilities and areas under the normal curve.

IDENTIFYING REGIONS

UNDER NORMAL
CURVE CORRESPONDS TO DIFFERENT
STANDARD NORMAL VALUES
The standard normal
distribution, also called
the z-distribution, is a
special normal
distribution where the
mean is 0 and the
standard deviation is 1.
Z-SCORES
eXAMPLE 1

Find the area that corresponds to z=2.


STEPS IN FINDING THE AREA
UNDER THE NORMAL CURVE
GIVEN A Z-VALUE
1. Express the given z-value into a three-digit number.
2. Using the z-Table, find the first 2 digits on the first column.
3. Find the third digit on the first row on the right.
4. Read the area for probability at the intersection of the
row (first 2 digit number) and column (third digit number).
The value observed at the intersection indicates the area of
the given z-value.

normal curve to the right of z = 1.63.

eXAMPLE 4
determine the area under the standard
normal curve to the right of z = 1.63.
The value that
corresponds to
z=1.63 is 0.4884.

= 0.5 - 0.4884
= 0.0516
eXAMPLE 5
determine the area under the standard
normal curve to the right of z = -0.52.

eXAMPLE 5
determine the area under the standard
normal curve to the right of z = -0.52.

The value that
corresponds to
z=-0.52 is 0.1985.

= 0.5 + 0.1985
= 0.6985
eXAMPLE 6
determine the area under the standard
normal curve to the left of z=1.25.

eXAMPLE 6
determine the area under the standard
normal curve to the left of z=1.25.

The value that
corresponds to z=1.25
is 0.3944.

= 0.5 + 0.3944
= 0.8944
eXAMPLE 7
determine the area under the standard
normal curve to the left of z=-0.95.

eXAMPLE 7
determine the area under the standard
normal curve to the left of z=-0.95.

The value that
corresponds to
z=-0.95 is 0.3289.

= 0.5 - 0.3289
= 0.1711
eXAMPLE 8
find the area under the standard normal
curve between z=1.03 and z=-0.37.

eXAMPLE 8
find the area under the standard normal
curve between z=1.03 and z=-0.37.

The value that
corresponds to
z=1.03 is 0.3485 and
z=-0.37 is 0.1443.

= 0.3485 + 0.1443
= 0.4928
eXAMPLE 9
find the area under the standard normal
curve between z=0.32 and z=2.42.

eXAMPLE 9
find the area under the standard normal
curve between z=0.32 and z=2.42.

The value that
corresponds to
z=0.32 is 0.1225 and
z=2.42 is 0.4922.

= 0.4922 - 0.1225
= 0.3667
