Algebra.Com's Answer #780710 by Boreal(15235) You can put this solution on YOUR website! z=(x-mean)/sd \n" ); document.write( "(2.58-2.5)/0.02 is +4 \n" ); document.write( "probability of z<4 is 1.0 to four decimal places.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "between 2.54 and 2.58 will be the probability z is between 2 and 4 \n" ); document.write( " go to 2nd VARS 2 for normalcdf (you almost never want normalpdf) \n" ); document.write( "enter 2,4 \n" ); document.write( "hit enter' \n" ); document.write( "0.0228 is the probability. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
