### Finding the Z-Score for a Given Distribution AreaTo find the z-score for which 80% of the distribution's area lies to its right, follow the options provided and understand the context of z-scores in a normal distribution.#### Question:**Find the z-score for which 80% of the distribution's area lies to its right.**#### Answer Choices:- **-1.84**- **-2.16**- **-0.84**- **-0.52**#### Explanation:In a standard normal distribution, the z-score represents the number of standard deviations away from the mean. The area to the right of a z-score translates to the probability that a value will fall above that z-score. For 80% of the distribution's area to lie to the right, we must look for a z-score corresponding to a cumulative area of 20% (since 100% - 80% = 20%) to the left. This can be found using z-tables or statistical software.Statistical tables or software might be used to precisely determine that the z-score is approximately -0.84 (meaning a z-score of -0.84 accumulates 0.20 or 20% on its left-hand side).Therefore, the correct answer is:- **-0.84**#### Graph Explanation:No graph is provided in the question, but a typical graph for this problem would include a bell-shaped normal distribution curve. The curve should be divided such that 20% of the area lies to the left of the specific z-score and 80% to the right.For educational websites, it's crucial to illustrate such a scenario using a labeled normal distribution curve, highlighting the exact sections and providing comprehensive steps to use z-tables or software tools.For further understanding, practice finding cumulative areas and corresponding z-scores using standard normal distribution tables available in most statistical textbooks or online resources.

A patient is classified as having gestational diabetes if their glucose level is above 144 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) one hour after a sugary drink is ingested. Rebecca's doctor is concerned that she may suffer from gestational diabetes. There is variation both in the actual glucose level and in the blood test that measures the level. Rebecca's measured glucose level one hour after ingesting the sugary drink varies according to the Normal distribution with µ= 146 mg/dl and o = 4 mg/dl. What is the probability of Rebecca being diagnosed with gestational diabetes if her glucose level is measured: (a) 4 times CS Scanned with CamScanner
Nicole has a popular blog about cooking and nutrition and regularly posts articles and videos. She has collected data about the length of time that viewers spent watching two of her recent videos. For each video, she recorded the amount of time (in minutes) that each of 102 viewers spent watching it. The histograms below show the distributions of the two data sets. Each histogram shows time (in minutes) on the horizontal axis and the number of viewers on the vertical axis. The means and standard deviations for the data sets are also given.
