Math Problem Statement

Find the percentage of all values in a normal distribution for the following​ z-score.

z greater than or equals 1.41z≥1.41

Solution

To find the percentage of all values in a normal distribution for the given z-score (where z1.41z \geq 1.41), we can follow a similar approach as before.

Step 1: Find the cumulative probability for z=1.41z = 1.41

Using the standard normal distribution table or a calculator, we find the cumulative probability (area to the left) for z=1.41z = 1.41.

The cumulative probability P(Z<1.41)P(Z < 1.41) is approximately 0.9207.

Step 2: Calculate the area to the right

Since we want the area to the right of z=1.41z = 1.41, we subtract the cumulative probability from 1:

P(Z1.41)=1P(Z<1.41)=10.9207=0.0793P(Z \geq 1.41) = 1 - P(Z < 1.41) = 1 - 0.9207 = 0.0793

Step 3: Convert to a percentage

To convert this to a percentage, multiply by 100:

P(Z1.41)=0.0793×100=7.93%P(Z \geq 1.41) = 0.0793 \times 100 = 7.93\%

Final Answer:

Approximately 7.93% of the values in a normal distribution have a z-score greater than or equal to 1.41.

Tip: When using z-tables or calculators, remember that they typically provide the cumulative probability up to the given z-score (area to the left). To find the area to the right, simply subtract this value from 1.
