Math Problem Statement
Solution
The given image shows a normal distribution with a mean () of 4 and a standard deviation () of 3. The shaded region represents the probability that a value from this distribution is greater than 2.5.
To shade the corresponding region under the standard normal curve, we need to convert the value 2.5 into a standard normal variable using the z-score formula:
Given:
The z-score becomes:
So, under the standard normal curve (mean 0, standard deviation 1), the z-score corresponding to is . The shaded region in the second plot should represent the area greater than , meaning from to infinity.
Let me know if you'd like further details or if you want me to mark the region in any specific way. Here are some related questions:
- What is the significance of a z-score in a normal distribution?
- How would the z-score change if the mean or standard deviation was different?
- How do you calculate probabilities using the z-table for areas under the curve?
- What does it mean if the z-score is positive versus negative?
- Can you compute the probability from the z-score for this example?
Tip: Remember, the total area under a normal curve is always equal to 1, which corresponds to 100% probability.
