Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image shows a problem involving normal distribution with two tasks:
-
First part:
- You are asked to sketch the region corresponding to the statement .
- This involves shading the area between the two -values, and , on the standard normal curve.
-
Second part:
- You need to adjust the shaded region for the probability statement .
- This asks for a left-tailed area under the normal curve where the cumulative probability is 0.45. Your task is to find the corresponding -value (which will be negative) and shade the area to the left of it.
Steps to solve:
Part 1:
- You need to mark and on the standard normal curve.
- The area between these two values (which are both negative) should be shaded.
Part 2:
- For this part, you need the cumulative probability value of 0.45, which corresponds to a specific -score.
- Using a Z-table, we find that gives a cumulative probability of approximately 0.45.
- You will shade the area to the left of .
If you apply these steps, the regions will correspond exactly to the probability ranges given in the task. Do you need more help with any part or further clarifications?
Follow-up Questions:
- What does the cumulative probability of 0.45 represent in context?
- How do we interpret negative -scores in the normal distribution?
- How would the shading change if the cumulative probability were 0.55 instead?
- What is the total area under the standard normal curve?
- How can you calculate the area between two -values without a Z-table?
Tip: When working with cumulative probabilities, always remember that the area under the curve to the left of a -score gives the cumulative value.
