Given X = 65, μ = 71, and σ = 8
Calculate P(X < Z)
Using the Normal Distribution, Calculate P(X < 65)
Z = | X - μ |
σ/√1 |
Z = | 65 - 71 |
8/√1 |
Z = | -6 |
8/1 |
Z = | -6 |
8 |
Z = -0.75
From the table below, we see that our Z value is = 0.273373
The z-table probability runs from 0 to z and -z to 0
Z value = 0.273373
Since that represents ½ of the graph, we subtract our value from 0.5 → 0.5 - 0.273373
P(x<-0.75) = 0.226627
