DENSITY CURVE
is the graph of a continuous probability
and must satisfy the following properties:
1. The total area under the curve must equal 1.
2. Every point on the curve must have a
vertical height that is 0 or greater. (That is,
the curve cannot fall below the x-axis.)
THE Z-TABLE
THE Z-TABLE
You can use the Z-table to find a full set of "less-than"
probabilities for a wide range of z-values. To use the Ztable to find probabilities for a statistical sample with
a standard normal (Z-) distribution, do the following:
EXAMPLE #01
Compute the percent of population between 0 and 0.45
Start at the row
for 0.4
Read along until
0.45
There is the value
0.1736
EXAMPLE #02
Percent of Population Z Between -1 and 2
Note: From 1 to 0
is the same as from
0 to +1:
At the row for 1.0,
first column 1.00,
there is the value
0.3413
At the row for 2.0,
first column 2.00,
there is the value
0.4772

PRACTICE #01
Using the provided Z-Table, find the Z-value that
corresponds to 42.22% of the population, as shown.
PRACTICE #02
Using the provided Z-Table, find the Z-value that
corresponds to 98.81% of the population, as shown.
PRACTICE #03
Using the provided Z-Table, find the Z-value that
corresponds to 12.3% of the population, as shown.
PRACTICE #04
Using the provided Z-Table, find the value of the
shaded (%) that corresponds to Z=-1.56, as shown.
PRACTICE #05
Using the provided Z-Table, find the value of the
shaded (%) that corresponds to Z=1.61, as shown.
LETS RECAP
SOLVE ME!
Using the Z-table provided, find the area under
the standard normal curve:
1. Between z = 0 and z = 2.34 P(0 < z < 2.34).
2. Between z = 0 and z = 1.75 P(1.75 < z <0).
3. To the right of z = 1.11 P(z > 1.11).
4. To the left of
ASSIGNMENT
Each month, an American household generates an average of
28 pounds of newspaper for garbage or recycling. Assume
the standard deviation is 2 pounds. Assume the amount
generated is normally distributed. If a household is selected
at random, find the probability of its generating more than
30.2 pounds per month.
