Math Problem Statement

calculate percentage for z score of +0.78 % below this z score in the body

Solution

To find the percentage of data below a Z-score of +0.78, we use the standard normal distribution table or a calculator.

  1. Find the cumulative probability for the Z-score of +0.78. This gives us the proportion of the data below this Z-score.

Using the Z-table or a standard normal distribution calculator:

  • The cumulative probability for a Z-score of +0.78 is approximately 0.7823.
  1. Convert to a percentage: 0.7823×100=78.23%0.7823 \times 100 = 78.23\%

So, approximately 78.23% of the data falls below a Z-score of +0.78.

Tip:

When using a Z-table, remember that it provides the cumulative probability from the mean up to the Z-score value for positive Z-scores and from the Z-score down for negative values.
