Solution
To solve the probability problems using the standard normal distribution (Z) and rounding to at least three decimal places, we will use standard normal distribution properties and cumulative probabilities:
(a)
The probability that is greater than a certain value is equivalent to:
Looking up from the cumulative distribution table, we get approximately:
So:
(b)
Looking up the cumulative probability for :
(c)
This is the probability that lies between two values, and can be calculated as:
First, look up the cumulative probabilities:
Now subtract the two:
Final answers:
(a)
(b)
(c)
