    The document discusses the z-table and how it can be used to find the area under the normal curve. It provides examples of how to locate z-scores in the z-table and calculate probabilities using the standard normal distribution. This includes finding the area between two z-scores, calculating P(Z < z) and P(Z > z), and identifying the regions of the normal curve that correspond to different standard normal values. It also provides an example of calculating the z-score given the value, mean, and standard deviation of a normal random variable.

    FINDING THE AREA OF
    THE NORMAL CURVE
    USING THE
    Z-TABLE

    The Z - Table
    Let us get a closer look at the z-table. The outermost column and row
    represent the z-values. The first two digits of the z-value are found in the leftmost
    column and the last digit (hundredth place) is found on the first row.
    Suppose the z-score is equal to 1.85, locate the first two digits 1.8 in the
    leftmost column and the last digit, .05, can be located at the first row. Then find
    their intersection which gives the corresponding area. Therefore, given z = 1.85,
    the area is equal to 0.9678.
    1. Find the proportion of the area between z = -1.25 and 2.19,
    this can be expressed as P(-1.25 < Z < 2.19), read as the
    probability that Z is greater than -1.25 but less than 2.19.
    Solution:
    STEP 1: Draw a normal curve and locate the
    z - scores and shade.

    STEP 2: Locate the corresponding area of the


    z - scores in the z-table.
    z = -1.25 has a corresponding area of 0.1056
    z = 2.19 has a corresponding area of 0.9857
    STEP 3: If you are looking for the area between two z - scores,
    simply subtract the corresponding areas to arrive at the answer.
    Therefore, 0.9857 - 0.1056 = 0.8801 and the P(-1.25 < Z < 2.19) =
    0.8801 or 88.01%
    2. Compute the probability using the standard normal curve.
    a. P(Z < 1.67) = ______________

    Solution:

    STEP 1: Draw a normal curve and locate the z - score and shade.

    STEP 2: Locate the corresponding area of the z - score in the z-table.


    z = 1.67 has a corresponding area of 0.9525

    STEP 3: If you are looking for a less than


    area, the area in the table is the
    answer, therefore the P(Z < 1.67) = 0.9525
    or 95.25%.
    b. P(Z > -0.65) = ______________

    Solution:

    STEP 1: Draw a normal curve and locate the


    z - score and shade.

    STEP 2: Locate the corresponding area of the z - score in the z-table.


    z = -0.65 has a corresponding area of 0.2578

    STEP 3: If you are looking for a greater than area, the area in the table is
    subtracted from 1, therefore, 1.0000 – 0.2578 = 0.7422 , and the
    P(Z > -0.65) = 0.7422 or 74.22%
    The Z- Score

    The z-score is an essential component in standard normal distribution. This


    allows us to describe a given set of data by finding the z-scores. This leads us
    to a question of how z-scores are identified? Given a normal random variable X
    with mean (µ) and standard deviation (𝜎), each value of x of the variable can be
    transformed into z-scores using the formula,

    where z = z- score or standard score


    x = observed value
    µ = mean
    𝜎 = standard deviation
    Identifying the Regions of the Normal
    Curve that Corresponds to Different
    Standard Normal Values

    The probability notation P(a < Z < b) indicates that the z-value is between
    a and b, P(Z > a) means z-value is above a and P(Z < a) means z-value
    is below a. It would not matter whether we are considering P(Z < a) or
    P(Z ≤ a) or P(Z > a) or P(Z ≥ a).
    1. A random variable X has a mean of 6 and a standard deviation of 2. Find the
    corresponding z-score for x = 11.
    Solution: 𝑧 =

    given X= 11 µ=6 𝜎=2

    Solution: z=

    = Step 1: Write the formula.


    Step 2: Substitute the given values.
    = Step 3: Perform the operations.
    = 2.5 Step 4: Write the corresponding z-score
