Algebra.Com's Answer #562145 by ewatrrr(24785)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! For the normal distribution: Below: z = 0, z = ± 1, z= ±2 , z= ±3 are plotted. \n" ); document.write( "Area under the standard normal curve to the left of the particular z is P(z) \n" ); document.write( "Note: z = 0 (x value: the mean) 50% of the area under the curve is to the left and 50% to the right \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "...... \n" ); document.write( "one standard deviation from the mean accounts for about 68% of the set \n" ); document.write( "two standard deviations from the mean account for about 95% \n" ); document.write( "and three standard deviations from the mean account for about 99.7%. \n" ); document.write( "....... \n" ); document.write( "mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 16\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a)between 68 and 132: (2SDs on either side of mean) 95% \n" ); document.write( " b)between 68(-2SDs) and 100: 50% - 95%/2 \n" ); document.write( " c)above 116 (1SD): 50% + 68%/2 \n" ); document.write( " d)below 68(-2SDs): (100%-95%)/2 \n" ); document.write( " e)above 148 (3Sds): (100%-99.7%)/2 \n" ); document.write( " |
