Math Problem Statement

Find the percentage of all values in a normal distribution for the following​ z-score. z greater than or equals 1.52z≥1.52

Solution

To find the percentage of all values in a normal distribution for the given z-score (where z1.52z \geq 1.52), we'll follow these steps:

Step 1: Find the cumulative probability for z=1.52z = 1.52

Using the standard normal distribution table or a calculator, we find the cumulative probability (area to the left) for z=1.52z = 1.52.

The cumulative probability P(Z<1.52)P(Z < 1.52) is approximately 0.9357.

Step 2: Calculate the area to the right

Since we want the area to the right of z=1.52z = 1.52, we subtract the cumulative probability from 1:

P(Z1.52)=1P(Z<1.52)=10.9357=0.0643P(Z \geq 1.52) = 1 - P(Z < 1.52) = 1 - 0.9357 = 0.0643

Step 3: Convert to a percentage

To convert this to a percentage, multiply by 100:

P(Z1.52)=0.0643×100=6.43%P(Z \geq 1.52) = 0.0643 \times 100 = 6.43\%

Final Answer:

Approximately 6.43% of the values in a normal distribution have a z-score greater than or equal to 1.52.

  2. How would you find the percentage for z2.33z \geq 2.33?
  3. Can you calculate the percentage for a z-score between two values, such as 1.521.52 and 2.332.33?
  4. What is the area under the curve for the entire normal distribution?
  5. How is the z-score related to standard deviation in a normal distribution?

Tip: When working with normal distributions, remember that the total area under the curve is always 1 (or 100%). This means you can use the cumulative probabilities and symmetry properties to find areas in any section of the distribution.
