Math Problem Statement

Obtain the following probability for the standard normal distribution. Round your answer to four decimal places. 𝑃(𝑧 > 1.15) =

Solution

To find P(z>1.15)P(z > 1.15) for a standard normal distribution, we need to find the probability that the standard normal variable zz is greater than 1.15.

Steps:

  1. Use a standard normal distribution table or calculator to find the cumulative probability P(z1.15)P(z \leq 1.15).
  2. Subtract that value from 1 to get P(z>1.15)P(z > 1.15).

From the standard normal table:

  • P(z1.15)0.8749P(z \leq 1.15) \approx 0.8749

Now, subtract this from 1: P(z>1.15)=1P(z1.15)=10.8749=0.1251P(z > 1.15) = 1 - P(z \leq 1.15) = 1 - 0.8749 = 0.1251

So, P(z>1.15)=0.1251P(z > 1.15) = 0.1251.

Tip: When using a standard normal table, remember that the values represent the cumulative probability from the far left up to the z-score you’re interested in.
