Find the area between Z = 1.37 and Z = 2.55

Find the area between Z = 1.37 and Z = 2.55 in a standard normal curve.

Solution

The graph you've provided represents the normal distribution curve, often used in statistics to find probabilities or areas under the curve based on ZZ-scores. To find the area between Z=1.37Z = 1.37 and Z=2.55Z = 2.55, we'll use the standard normal table (Z-table) or a computational method. Here’s the process:

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Identify the cumulative area for Z=1.37Z = 1.37: From the Z-table, the cumulative area up to Z=1.37Z = 1.37 is approximately 0.9147.

  2. Identify the cumulative area for Z=2.55Z = 2.55: From the Z-table, the cumulative area up to Z=2.55Z = 2.55 is approximately 0.9946.

  3. Find the area between Z=1.37Z = 1.37 and Z=2.55Z = 2.55: Subtract the cumulative area for Z=1.37Z = 1.37 from the cumulative area for Z=2.55Z = 2.55: Area=0.99460.9147=0.0799\text{Area} = 0.9946 - 0.9147 = 0.0799

Final Answer:

The area between Z=1.37Z = 1.37 and Z=2.55Z = 2.55 is 0.0799.

Related Questions:

  1. How do you interpret the area under the normal curve in terms of probability?
  2. What does a ZZ-score represent in a standard normal distribution?
  3. How can technology (e.g., calculators or software) simplify these calculations?
  4. How would the area change if the range of ZZ-scores were negative?
  5. Can you explain how to find areas for a two-tailed test using the normal curve?

Tip:

When working with ZZ-scores, always verify whether you're looking for a one-tailed or two-tailed area and carefully read the Z-table for cumulative probabilities.
