Solution

To determine the area under the standard normal curve to the right of a given Z-score, we need to use a Z-table (standard normal distribution table). This table provides the cumulative area to the left of the Z-score. The area to the right can be found by subtracting this cumulative area from 1.

Part 1: Z=1.89Z = -1.89

  1. Find the cumulative area to the left of Z=1.89Z = -1.89 using the Z-table.
  2. According to the Z-table, the cumulative area is approximately 0.0294.
  3. The area to the right of Z=1.89Z = -1.89 is: 10.0294=0.97061 - 0.0294 = 0.9706 So, the area to the right of Z=1.89Z = -1.89 is 0.9706.

Part 2: Z=1.83Z = 1.83

  1. Find the cumulative area to the left of Z=1.83Z = 1.83 using the Z-table.
  2. According to the Z-table, the cumulative area is approximately 0.9664.
  3. The area to the right of Z=1.83Z = 1.83 is: 10.9664=0.03361 - 0.9664 = 0.0336 So, the area to the right of Z=1.83Z = 1.83 is 0.0336.

Part 3: Z=0.12Z = -0.12

  1. Find the cumulative area to the left of Z=0.12Z = -0.12 using the Z-table.
  2. According to the Z-table, the cumulative area is approximately 0.4522.
  3. The area to the right of Z=0.12Z = -0.12 is: 10.4522=0.54781 - 0.4522 = 0.5478 So, the area to the right of Z=0.12Z = -0.12 is 0.5478.

Part 4: Z=1.14Z = -1.14

  1. Find the cumulative area to the left of Z=1.14Z = -1.14 using the Z-table.
  2. According to the Z-table, the cumulative area is approximately 0.1271.
  3. The area to the right of Z=1.14Z = -1.14 is: 10.1271=0.87291 - 0.1271 = 0.8729 So, the area to the right of Z=1.14Z = -1.14 is 0.8729.

Summary of Areas:

  • (a) Z=1.89Z = -1.89 → Area to the right: 0.9706
  • (b) Z=1.83Z = 1.83 → Area to the right: 0.0336
  • (c) Z=0.12Z = -0.12 → Area to the right: 0.5478
  • (d) Z=1.14Z = -1.14 → Area to the right: 0.8729

Relative Questions:

  1. What is the process for finding the area to the left of a Z-score?
  2. How can you interpret the area under a normal distribution curve in terms of probability?
  3. Why is the total area under the normal curve always equal to 1?
  4. What is the significance of a Z-score in a standard normal distribution?
  5. How can Z-scores be used to compare data from different normal distributions?

Tip:

Always remember that the Z-table typically provides the area to the left of the Z-score. For areas to the right, subtract the table value from 1.
