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> 1.65)=
(b) P (Z≤ 0.74)=
(c) P(-108 <2<2.20)=
Solution
Let's calculate the probabilities using the standard normal distribution with a mean and standard deviation . We'll find these probabilities step by step:
