Since the z = 1.21

0.88686 subtract it from 1

1 - 0.88686 = 0.1131
Z -Table to the Left
= 0.1131
0.91174 - 0.38974
= 0.522

Examples:
Example
(a) The probability 𝑃(𝑍 < 1.32) means to find the area
under the normal curve at the left of 𝑧 = 1.32. From the
table, find the intersection on row 1.3 and column 0.02.

Thus, the probability is 0.9066 or 90.66%.


(b) The probability 𝑃(𝑍 < −1.05) is the same as the area
under the normal curve at the left of 𝑧 = −1.05. From
the table, the area is 0.1469.

Thus, the probability is 0.1469 or 14.69%.


(c) The probability 𝑃(−0.75 < 𝑍 < 1.56) is the same as
the area under the normal curve between 𝑧 values -
0.75 and 1.56. To get the area, subtract the area of 𝑧 =
−0.75 from the area of 𝑧 = 1.56.
Thus, 𝑃(−0.75 < 𝑍 <1.56)
= 𝑃(𝑍 < 1.56) – 𝑃(𝑍 < −0.75) = 0.9406 – 0.2266
= 0. 7140 𝑜𝑟 71. 40%.
(d) The probability 𝑃(𝑍 > −0.88) is the same as the area
under the normal curve at the right of 𝑧 = −0.88. To get
the area, subtract the area of 𝑧 = −0.88 from 1.

Thus, 𝑃(𝑍 > −0.88) = 1 – 𝑃(𝑍 < −0.88) = 1 – 0.1894 =


0.8106 or 81. 06%.
Example
Let 𝑋 be a normal random variable with
mean 𝜇 = 15 and standard deviation 𝜎 = 3.
Find the probabilities of the following:
(a) 𝑃(𝑋 < 19)
(b) 𝑃(10 < 𝑋 < 19)
(a) To find the probability, convert the normal random
variable 19 to a z-score.

Thus, 𝑃(𝑋 < 19) =


= 𝑃(𝑍 < 1.33).

From the table, the probability at the left of 𝑧 = 1.33 is


equal to 0.9082 or 90.82%.
(b) To find the probability, convert the normal
random variables 10 and 19 to z values.
Thus, 𝑃(10 < 𝑋 < 19) =

= 𝑃(−1.67 < 𝑍 < 1.33)


= 𝑃(𝑍 < 1.33) – 𝑃(𝑍 < −1.67).

From the table, we have


0.9082 – 0.0475 = 0.8607 or 86.07%.
Example
Each month, a Filipino household generates an average
of 28 pounds of newspaper for garbage or recycling.
Assume that the distribution is normal with a standard
deviation of 2 pounds. If a household is selected at
random, find the probability of its generating:

a. between 27 and 31 pounds per month.


b. more than 30.2 pounds per month.
