This document is a learning activity sheet for a statistics and probability lesson that teaches students how to identify regions under the normal curve using a z-table. It provides examples of finding the area corresponding to given z-values, such as the area greater than z=1 or between z=-1 and z=-2. Students are asked to use the z-table to find areas for various z-scores and identify shaded regions on sample normal curves. The reflection question asks students to give an example of how z-scores are used in real life.

STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY ACTIVITY SHEET


Identifying Regions Under the Normal Curve Corresponding to
Different Standard Normal Values

I. Learning Competency with Code


Identifies regions under the normal curve corresponding to different standard
normal values. (M11/12SP-IIIc-3)

II. Background Information for Learners


In the previous lesson, you have learned about the normal curve and its
properties. The standard normal curve was also introduced. Here’s a deeper
explanation about it.

Fig. 1. Standard Normal Curve

A standard normal curve is a normal probability distribution that has a mean


equal to zero and its standard deviation is equal to 1. We call this standard
deviations as z-scores. The z-score or z-values are simply the areas under
the normal curve. In this lesson, you will learn to identify regions under the
normal curve using a z-table. When we speak of region, we are referring to the
area of that region. (Z-table is provided at the back of this module.)

Examples:
Find the area that corresponds to each of the following z-values:
1. 𝑧 = 0.5
2. 𝑧 = −1.52

1
Example 1. 𝑧 = 0.5
Steps
1. Find the first two digits in Row 0.5.
2. Locate the third digit in Column 0.00
3. Take the area value at the intersection of Row 0.5 and Column .00.

So, the area is 0.1915.

Example 2. 𝑧 = −1.52

Steps
1. Find the first two digits in Row 1.5.
2. Locate the third digit in Column 0.02.
3. Take the area value at the intersection of Row 1.5 and Column .02.

Note:
When z is negative, we ignore the
negative sign and proceed with the same
steps. The negative sign tells us that the
value is at the left side of the mean. Areas
are always positive in value.

The area is 0.4357.

Example 3. Find the area greater than 𝒛 = 𝟏.

Steps Solution
1. Draw the normal curve
indicating the z-value
and its corresponding
area.

2. Use the z-table to find 𝑧 = 1 corresponds to an area of 0.3413.


the area that
corresponds to 𝑧 = 1.

3. Compute the area. Subtract the area from 0.5 to get the
remaining area.
0.5 − 0.3413 = 0.1587
Thus, the area greater than 𝑧 = 1 is 0.1587.

Example 4. Find the area less than 𝒛 = 𝟏.

Steps Solution
1. Draw the normal curve
indicating the z-value
and its corresponding
area.

2. Use the z-table to find 𝑧 = 1 corresponds to an area of 0.3413.


the area that
corresponds to 𝑧 = 1.

3. Compute the area. Add the area 0.5(half of the curve) and
0.3413.
0.5 + 0.3413 = 0.8413
Thus, the area less than 𝑧 = 1 is 0.8413.

Example 5. Compute the area that z is between -1 and -2.

Steps Solution
1. Draw the normal curve
indicating the z-value
and its corresponding
area.

2. Use the z-table to find 𝑧 = −1 corresponds to 0.3413


the area that
corresponds to 𝑧 = 1 ,
𝑧 = 2. The negative
value simply indicates
that z-score is at the
left side. The area
remains the same.

𝑧 = −2 corresponds to 0.4772

3. Compute the area. Subtract the areas to get the area between
them.
0.4772 − 0.3413 = 0.1359
Thus, the area between -1 and -2 is 0.1359.

IV. Activity Proper
General Directions: In answering the exercises in the Learning Activity Sheet
(LAS), please be reminded not to write anything here. All answers must be
written in a separate sheet of paper. Read each problem carefully and answer
it systematically. If a solution is required, encircle your final answer.

Exercise 1: Use the z-table to find the area that corresponds to each of the
following z-score:

1. 𝑧 = 0.36 6. 𝑧 = 3
2. 𝑧 = 1.68 7. 𝑧 = −3
3. 𝑧 = −1.8 8. 𝑧 = −2.3
4. 𝑧 = −2.5 9. 𝑧 = −1.9
5. 𝑧 = 2.77 10. 𝑧 = 1.96

Exercise 2: Identify the regions shown in the normal curve.
