Hi
*Note:
For the normal distribution: Below: z = 0, z = ± 1, z= ±2 , z= ±3 are plotted.
Area under the standard normal curve to the left of the particular z is P(z)
Note: z = 0 (x value: the mean) 50% of the area under the curve is to the left and 50% to the right
one standard deviation from the mean accounts for about 68% of the set
two standard deviations from the mean account for about 95%
and three standard deviations from the mean account for about 99.7%.
mean of 65 inches and a standard deviation of 2.5 inches
P(62.5 > x < 67.5) = P(-1 > z < 1) = ~.68 (Empirical Rule Above)
= 2040 women have a height between 62.5 and 67.5 inches
