Math Problem Statement

Assume that z-scores are normally distributed with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. If P(z > c) = 0.0133, find c (rounded to 5 decimal places).

Solution

The problem in the image asks for the value of cc given that the z-scores are normally distributed with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1, and:

P(z>c)=0.0133P(z > c) = 0.0133

To solve this, we need to find the value of cc where the probability P(z>c)=0.0133P(z > c) = 0.0133. This means that the area to the right of cc under the standard normal curve is 0.0133.

  1. Look up the value of P(z>c)=0.0133P(z > c) = 0.0133 in the standard normal distribution table (or use a calculator or software).
  2. Since tables usually provide values for P(z<c)P(z < c), we'll first find the complement:

P(z<c)=10.0133=0.9867P(z < c) = 1 - 0.0133 = 0.9867

  1. Now, find the z-score that corresponds to P(z<c)=0.9867P(z < c) = 0.9867.

Using the standard normal distribution table or an inverse normal function, we get: c2.2132c \approx 2.2132

So, c2.2132c \approx 2.2132 (rounded to 5 decimal places).

Here are 5 related questions for further practice:

  1. What is the value of P(z>2.2132)P(z > 2.2132) using the z-table?
  2. If P(z>c)=0.05P(z > c) = 0.05, what is the value of cc?
  3. For a z-score of 1.96, what is the probability that P(z<1.96)P(z < 1.96)?
  4. How would the calculation change if the mean was not 0 but 1?
  5. What is the area under the normal curve between z=1z = -1 and z=1z = 1?

Tip: The cumulative probability for a z-score can be quickly found using a scientific calculator or software with an "inverse normal" function, which directly computes the z-value for a given probability.
