Given that z is a standard normal random variable,
find z for each situation.
Instead of doing your problem for you, I've drawn the normal
curve graphs, and shaded the area mentioned. All you have to
do is look on the z-axis of each graph and find which value on
your list of answers is closest to the z-score along that z-axis
where the shading stops or starts, depending on whether the area
is to the left or to the right. Here are the shaded graphs:
a) The area to the left of z is 0.9750.
b) The area between 0 and z is 0.4750.
c) The area to the left of z is 0.7291.
d) The area to the right of z is 0.1314.
e) The area to the left of z is 0.6700.
f) The area to the right of z is 0.3300.
Answers:
a) z = 1.96
b) z = 1.96
c) z = 0.61
d) z = 1.12
e) z = 0.44
f) z = 0.44
