Write the problem using probability notation.
?(?ˆP(p^ Answer0.13)0.13)
What is the ?z-score?
?(?ˆ≥0.13)=?(?≥P(p^≥0.13)=P(z≥ Answer )) (Click to view hint)
Which illustration (below) shows the area represented by this probability? Answer
| Curve | Image |
|---|---|
| Curve 1 | |
| Curve 2 | |
| Curve 3 | |
| Curve 4 | |
| Curve 5 |
Find the probability using the normal table (opens in new window).
?(?ˆ≥0.13)=?(?≥1.5)=P(p^≥0.13)=P(z≥1.5)= Answer (Click to hide hint)
The probability is greater than (area to the right), so we need to subtract the area given on the table from 1.
