Math Problem Statement

Find probabilities for the standard and non-standard normal distribution.

You may round your answers to four decimal places

a.

0.6026

b.

c.

d. If = 68 and = 12, find

Solution

Let's break this down step by step to compute the probabilities for both standard and non-standard normal distributions. You mentioned probabilities for the values a-d but didn't specify the complete context or provide full values for some parts of the question. I'll do my best with the information you've shared:

Part a: Probability for Z=0.6026Z = 0.6026 (Standard Normal Distribution)

For the standard normal distribution, where ZZ follows a standard normal distribution (mean μ=0\mu = 0 and standard deviation σ=1\sigma = 1):

  1. Look up the Z-score of 0.6026 in the standard normal table or use a calculator.

The corresponding probability is: P(Z0.6026)0.7264P(Z \leq 0.6026) \approx 0.7264 So, P(Z0.6026)0.7264P(Z \leq 0.6026) \approx 0.7264, meaning there's a 72.64% probability that a value drawn from the standard normal distribution will be less than or equal to 0.6026.


Part b: You left this part blank

Could you provide the value or clarification for part b? I'd be happy to compute it once I have the needed details.


Part c: You left this part blank as well

Please let me know what you'd like to solve here. We could compute another Z-score probability or something related to the non-standard normal distribution.


Part d: Non-Standard Normal Distribution

You mentioned:

If μ=68\mu = 68 and σ=12\sigma = 12, find... It seems like you want to find a Z-score or probability based on these values. To calculate the Z-score or probability for a non-standard normal distribution, we use the formula:

Z=XμσZ = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Could you specify the value of XX, or are you looking for the probability of being above or below a certain value?


Feel free to fill in the gaps for parts b, c, and d, and I'll continue the calculations!


Do you have any questions or would you like further explanation on the process?

  1. How do you calculate probabilities for negative Z-scores?
  2. What is the relationship between the cumulative distribution function and Z-scores?
  3. How do you standardize a normal variable to compute probabilities?

Tip:

Always standardize your normal variable (i.e., compute the Z-score) before using the standard normal table, as it assumes μ=0\mu = 0 and σ=1\sigma = 1.
