Math Problem Statement

Suppose Z follows the standard normal distribution. Use the calculator provided, or this table, to determine the value of e so that the following is true. P(0.52≤Z≤c)=0.2813

Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Solution

To find the value of cc such that P(0.52Zc)=0.2813P(0.52 \leq Z \leq c) = 0.2813, where ZZ follows the standard normal distribution, we can follow these steps:

  1. Understand the Problem:

    • We know the probability between 0.52 and cc is 0.2813.
    • First, we'll find the cumulative probability P(Z0.52)P(Z \leq 0.52) using the standard normal distribution.
    • Then, we'll add 0.2813 to this cumulative probability to find P(Zc)P(Z \leq c).
    • Finally, we'll find the corresponding cc-value for this cumulative probability.
  2. Steps to Calculate cc:

    • Calculate P(Z0.52)P(Z \leq 0.52).
    • Add 0.2813 to this probability to find P(Zc)P(Z \leq c).
    • Find the cc-value corresponding to this cumulative probability.

Let's calculate this step by step.The value of cc such that P(0.52Zc)=0.2813P(0.52 \leq Z \leq c) = 0.2813 is c=2.05c = 2.05 (rounded to two decimal places).

Here are 5 related questions to explore:

  1. How would you find cc if P(0.52Zc)=0.2813P(-0.52 \leq Z \leq c) = 0.2813?
  2. What is P(Z2.05)P(Z \leq 2.05) for the standard normal distribution?
  3. How would the value of cc change if P(0.52Zc)P(0.52 \leq Z \leq c) were 0.35 instead of 0.2813?
  4. What is the interpretation of a z-value of 2.05 in a standard normal distribution?
  5. How would you solve for cc if the probability was given as P(0Zc)=0.2813P(0 \leq Z \leq c) = 0.2813?

Tip: Understanding how to manipulate probabilities and z-values is essential when working with the standard normal distribution, especially for hypothesis testing and confidence intervals.
