Math Problem Statement
Suppose Z follows the standard normal distribution. Calculate the following probabilities using the ALEKS calculator. Round your responses to at least three decimal places.
(a) P(z > 200) =
(b) P(z <= 1,44) =
(c) P(- 1.09 < Z < 220) =
Solution
To solve these problems, we use the properties of the standard normal distribution, where follows a normal distribution with mean and standard deviation . We can find the probabilities using a standard normal table or a calculator. Below are the answers:
(a)
-
Since is far beyond the typical range of a standard normal distribution, the probability that is greater than 200 is extremely small, essentially zero.
(b)
-
To find this, we use the cumulative distribution function (CDF) for the standard normal distribution at .
(c)
-
First, is extremely close to 1, so we focus on the range from to .
Using the CDF for : So,
