Given X = 6.4, μ = 7.9, and σ = 2.2
Calculate P(X < Z)
Using the Normal Distribution, Calculate P(X < 6.4)
Z = | X - μ |
σ/√1 |
Z = | 6.4 - 7.9 |
2.2/√1 |
Z = | -1.5 |
2.2/1 |
Z = | -1.5 |
2.2 |
Z = -0.682
From the table below, we see that our Z value is = 0.251748
The z-table probability runs from 0 to z and -z to 0
Z value = 0.251748
Since that represents ½ of the graph, we subtract our value from 0.5 → 0.5 - 0.251748
P(x<-0.682) = 0.248252
