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 P(0<z<1.59)P(0 < z < 1.59) 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 zz-value.

Steps to solve:

  1. Find P(z<1.59)P(z < 1.59):
    Use the Z-table to find the cumulative probability corresponding to z=1.59z = 1.59.

    • Look up the value for z=1.59z = 1.59 in the standard normal table. The value you find in the table is the cumulative probability up to z=1.59z = 1.59.

    For z=1.59z = 1.59, the cumulative probability is approximately 0.9441.

  2. Find P(z<0)P(z < 0):
    Since z=0z = 0 is the mean of the standard normal distribution, the cumulative probability at z=0z = 0 is exactly 0.5.

  3. Calculate P(0<z<1.59)P(0 < z < 1.59):
    The probability of zz being between 0 and 1.59 is the difference between the cumulative probabilities at z=1.59z = 1.59 and z=0z = 0:

    P(0<z<1.59)=P(z<1.59)P(z<0)P(0 < z < 1.59) = P(z < 1.59) - P(z < 0) P(0<z<1.59)=0.94410.5=0.4441P(0 < z < 1.59) = 0.9441 - 0.5 = 0.4441

Final Answer:

P(0<z<1.59)=0.4441P(0 < z < 1.59) = 0.4441

Here are five related questions to consider:

  1. How do you find the probability for zz values greater than 1.59?
  2. What is the probability of zz being between -1 and 1.59?
  3. How do you use the Z-table for negative zz values?
  4. What does a zz-score represent in a normal distribution?
  5. How would you calculate P(z>1.59)P(z > 1.59)?

Tip: Always remember that the standard normal distribution is symmetrical, and the total area under the curve equals 1.
