A normal curve is over a horizontal axis and is centered on 0. Vertical line segments extend from the horizontal axis to the curve at 0 and 1.59, where 1.59 is to the right of 0. The area under the curve between 0 and 1.59 is shaded. Question content area bottom Part 1 P(0less thanzless than1.59)equals

Solution
To find the probability for the standard normal distribution, you can use the standard normal table (often called the Z-table), which provides the cumulative probability from the far left of the distribution up to a given -value.
Steps to solve:
-
Find :
Use the Z-table to find the cumulative probability corresponding to .- Look up the value for in the standard normal table. The value you find in the table is the cumulative probability up to .
For , the cumulative probability is approximately 0.9441.
-
Find :
Since is the mean of the standard normal distribution, the cumulative probability at is exactly 0.5. -
Calculate :
The probability of being between 0 and 1.59 is the difference between the cumulative probabilities at and :
Final Answer:
Would you like further details or have any questions?
Here are five related questions to consider:
- How do you find the probability for values greater than 1.59?
- What is the probability of being between -1 and 1.59?
- How do you use the Z-table for negative values?
- What does a -score represent in a normal distribution?
- How would you calculate ?
Tip: Always remember that the standard normal distribution is symmetrical, and the total area under the curve equals 1.
