1. The random variable Z has µ = ______ and σ = _____.


µ=0
σ = 1 (luas lorekan taburan normal)

2. P(0 < z < 1.53) =

0 1.53
P (0 < z < 1.53) = 0.43700

3. P( z > -2.18) =

-2.18 0
P (z > -2.18) = 0.48537

= 0.48573 + 0.5 = 0.98573


4. Find the value of zo, such that P( -zo < z < zo) = 0.92.
P(-zo < z < zo) = 0.92

-zo 0 zo
Z = 0.92 ÷ 2 = 0.46

Z = 0.46 = 1.75

5. Find the value of zo, such that P(z < zo) = .3015.

6. The random variable X is normally distributed with mean 80 and standard deviation 12.
a) What is the probability that a value of X chosen at random will be between 65 and 95?

µ : 80
 : 12

65 < x < 95

Z=x-µ = Z= 65 - 80 = 15 = -1.25
 12 12

Z=x-µ = Z= 95 - 80 = 15 = 1.25
 12 12

= P(-1.25 < x < 1.25)

-1.25 0 1.25

-1.25 = 0.39436
1.25 = 0.39436

= 0.39436 + 0.39436 = 0.78872


b) What is the probability that a value of X chosen at random will be less than 74?
µ : 80
 : 12

X < 74

74 – 80 = -0.5
12

(Z < -0.5)

-0.5 0
Z = 0.30854

7. The random variable X is normally distributed with mean 65 and standard deviation 15.
Find xo, such that P(x > xo) = 0.6738.
µ : 65
 : 15
P( x > xo) = 0.6783

-x 0

0.6783 – 0.5 = 0.1783

-x = 0.1783 = -0.46

Z=x-µ -0.46 = x - 65
 15

(-0.46 x 15) + 65 = 58.1


The scores on a placement test have a mound-shaped distribution with mean 400 and
standard deviation 45.
a) What percentage of people taking this exam will have scores of 310 or greater?
µ : 400
 : 45
X > 310

P(x > 310)

Z=x-µ = x - 400 = 310 – 400 = -2


 45 45

-2 0

-2 = 0.47725

0.47725 + 0.5 = 0.97725

0.97725 x 100
1

97.73%

b) What percentage of the people taking this test will have scores between 445 and
490?

P(445 < x < 490)

µ : 400
 : 45

445 – 400 = 1 490 – 400 = 2 = P(1 < x < 2)


45 45

0 1 2

2 = 0.47725 1 = 0.34134

0.47725 - 0.34134 = 0.13591

0.13591 = 13.59%
8. A test has been devised to measure a student's level of motivation during high school.
The motivation scores on this test are approximately normally distributed with a mean
of 25 and a standard deviation of 6. The higher the score the greater the motivation to
do well in school.

a) What percentage of students taking this test will have scores below 10?

µ : 25
:6
P(x < 10)

Z=x-µ = 10 – 25 x = -2.5
 6

-2.5 0

2.5 = 0.00621 = 0.621%

b) John is told that 35% of the students taking the test have higher motivation scores
than he does? What was John's score?

µ : 25
:6

P(Z = x - µ) = 35% = 0.35


35% = 0.35

P(Z = x - 25) = 0.39


6

(0.39 x 6) + 25 = 27.34
