Math Problem Statement
Suppose Z follows the standard normal distribution. Calculate the following probabilities using the ALEKS calculator. Round your responses to at least three decimal places.
(a) P(z > 2.00) =
(b) P(z <= 1.44) =
(c) P(- 1.09 < Z < 2.20) =
Solution
Let's calculate each of the probabilities based on the standard normal distribution , where has a mean and standard deviation . We'll use the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the standard normal distribution.
(a)
-
To find this probability, we calculate . Using the CDF for , we find the area to the left of 2.00 and subtract it from 1.
Therefore,
Answer:
(b)
-
Here, we need the cumulative probability for .
Answer:
(c)
-
This is the probability that lies between and . We calculate:
Therefore,
