Question 1203184
.
Find z if
	
a) the normal curve area between 0 and z is 0.4884

b) the normal curve area to the right of z is 0.8665

Please help! Thank you. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
(a)  If the normal curve area between 0 and z is 0.4884,
     then the normal curve area on the left of z is 0.5 + 0.4885 = 0.9885.


     To find z, use the standard function invNorm in your regular calculator 
     TI-83 or TI-84

                     area    mean SD   <<<---===  formatting pattern
         z = invNorm(0.9885, 0,   1).


     Alternatively, you may use free of charge online calculator

     With TI-83 or TI-84, you have

                        area   mean   SD     <<<===--- formatting pattern
          z = invNorm( 0.9885, 0.0,   1) = 2.2734.   <U>ANSWER</U>


     With online calculator, you have the same answer PLUS a complete visual explanations
     on what you do, what the calculator does for you and why it is correct.



(b)  if the normal curve area to the right of z is 0.8665, then
        the normal curve area to the left  of z is 1-0.8665 = 0.1335.


     To find z, use the standard function invNorm in your regular calculator 
     TI-83 or TI-84

                     area    mean SD   <<<---===  formatting pattern
         z = invNorm(0.1335, 0,   1).

          z = invNorm( 0.1335, 0.0,   1) = -1.11.   <U>ANSWER</U>
