Part 1

​a) Choose the correct graph of 

zgreater than>negative 1.4−1.4.

A.

x-1.4

A normal curve is over a horizontal axis. A vertical line segment extends from the horizontal axis to the curve at negative 1.4, where negative 1.4 is to the left of the curve's center. The area under the curve to the left of negative 1.4 is shaded.

B.

x-1.4

A normal curve is over a horizontal axis. A vertical line segment extends from the horizontal axis to the curve at negative 1.4, where negative 1.4 is to the right of the curve's center. The area under the curve to the left of negative 1.4 is shaded.

C.

x-1.4

A normal curve is over a horizontal axis. A vertical line segment extends from the horizontal axis to the curve at negative 1.4, where negative 1.4 is to the right of the curve's center. The area under the curve to the right of negative 1.4 is shaded.

D.

x-1.4


Let's address each part of the question and analyze the correct graphs:

### Part a) \( z > -1.4 \)
This asks for the area of the normal distribution to the **right** of \( z = -1.4 \).

- In a standard normal distribution, the curve is symmetric with a mean of 0. 
- A vertical line would be drawn at \( z = -1.4 \) (which is to the left of the mean), and the area **to the right** of \( z = -1.4 \) should be shaded.

The correct option should have shading on the right side of \( z = -1.4 \), which corresponds to **option C**.

---

### Part b) \( z < -1.9 \)
This asks for the area **to the left** of \( z = -1.9 \).

- We would expect a vertical line at \( z = -1.9 \), and the area to the **left** of this line will be shaded.
- Since this is less than \( z = -1.9 \), the shading would cover the leftmost portion of the graph, including the tail.

---

### Part c) \( 0.85 < z < 1.85 \)
This asks for the area between \( z = 0.85 \) and \( z = 1.85 \).

- In this case, we would draw two vertical lines: one at \( z = 0.85 \) and one at \( z = 1.85 \), and shade the area **between** these two values.
- This will be a small section of the distribution, located to the right of the mean (since both values are positive).

---

### Part d) \( |z| < 0.6 \)
This refers to the area where the absolute value of \( z \) is less than 0.6, meaning the area between \( z = -0.6 \) and \( z = 0.6 \).

- This would involve drawing vertical lines at \( z = -0.6 \) and \( z = 0.6 \) and shading the area **between** them.
- The shaded region is around the mean (0), covering a portion close to the center of the normal curve.
