LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET # 10
Identifying Regions under Normal Curve Corresponds to Different
Standard Normal Values

LEARNING COMPETENCIES:
identify the regions under the normal curve of different standard normal values;
(IM11/12SP-IIIc-1)
_________________________________________________________________________

Introduction:
In your previous lessons in Mathematics, you learned how to solve for the area of
certain geometric figures or shapes. This time, you are going to identify the areas or regions
of a curve without using a formula or even a density function of standard normal random
variables because the z – table or Table of Areas under the Normal Curve . This LAS will
help you on how to 1. identify the regions under the normal curve of different standard
normal values; 2. use the z Table (Table of Areas under the Normal Curve) to find the
regions that correspond to z values; and 3. sketch the normal curve showing the required
regions or areas.

WHAT TO UNDERSTAND

In the previous module, we discussed the properties of the normal probability


distribution, and one of the things that you learned is that the total area under the curve is
equal to one. Since the standard normal distribution is defined as normally distributed
random variable having a mean of zero ( µ= 0 ) and standard deviation of one (ơ = 1), the
fifty (50) percent of the region under the curve is below the mean and the other 50% is
above the mean. Figure 1, as shown below illustrate the standard normal curve.

You can easily identify the area of the regions under the normal curve by using the
Table of Areas under the Normal Curve which is also known as z-Table (see attachment at
the last page of this module). This table gives the area of any value of z from -3.99 to 3.99.
The value from this table will describe the area of the specific region of the curve to the left
of the given z-value. How to use the Table of Areas under the Normal Curve? Example: Find
the area to the left of -1.69

Solution: First, split the given z-value into hundredths. We can find the whole number and
the tenths digit (-1.6) at the left side of the table while the hundredths (0.09) located at the
uppermost of the table. Then the intersection of these numbers will be the area of the normal
curve to the left of the z-value.

Answer: The area to the left of z= -1.69 is 0.0455.

STEPS ON HOW TO FIND THE AREA THAT CORRESPONDS TO Z –VALUE

1. Draw/sketch a normal curve and locate the given z-value on the normal curve
2. Shade the region of the curve according to the condition of z-value whether it is below,
above, or between.
3. Use the table of the area under the normal curve to find the corresponding area.
4. Choose the appropriate operation based on step 2 and 3 4.1. When the z-value is to the
left or any related terms (e.g. below, less than) just write the value we obtained in step 3 4.2.
When the z-value is to the right or any related terms (e.g. above, greater than), subtract 1 by
the obtained value in step 3 4.3. When the shaded region is in between of the two z-value,
subtract the biggest by the smallest value obtained in step 3.
5. Label the shaded region and draw a conclusion

Example 1: Find the area that corresponds below z = -1.35

Solution:
Step 1. Draw/sketch a normal curve and locate the given z-value.

Step 2: Shade the region of the curve according to the condition of z-value whether it is
below, above, or between.

Step 3. Use the table of the area under the normal curve to find the corresponding area.

The intersection between -1.3 and 0.05 is 0.0885

Step 4. Choose the appropriate operation based on step 2 and 3.

4.1 When the z-value is to the left or any related terms (e.g. below, less than) just write the
value we obtained in step 3 Since the shaded region of the curve is to the left of the z= -1.35
and the intersection between -1.3 and 0.05 is 0.0885. Therefore, the area of the shaded
region is 0.0885

Step 5. Label the shaded region and draw a conclusion.

What I Have Learned

1. The total area of the normal curve is 1


2. Z-table or Table of Areas Under Normal Curve contains the corresponding area of the z
value.
3. Steps on how to find the area that corresponds to z –value. a. Draw/sketch a normal curve
and locate the given z-value on the normal curve b. Shade the region of the curve according
to the condition of z-value whether it is below, above, or between. c. Use the table of the
area under the normal curve to find the corresponding area. d. Choose the appropriate
operation based on step 2 and 3. e. Label the shaded region and draw a conclusion.
4. When the z-value is to the left or any related terms (e.g. below, less than) just write the
value we obtained from the z table.
5. When the z-value is to the right or any related terms (e.g. above, greater than), subtract 1
by the obtained value from the z table.
6. When the shaded region is in between of the two z-value, subtract the biggest by the
smallest value obtained from the z table
