Which of the following is equal to p(z > 2.00) in a normal distribution? I. p(z < -2.00) II. 1- p(z < 2.00) III. p(z > 1.00) Incorrect. p(z > 2.00) = p(z < -2.00) because the normal curve is symmetric about the mean. p(z > 2.00) = 1- p(z < 2.00) because the area under the normal curve is 1. P(z > 2.00) is not the same thing as p(z > 1.00). See 6.2: Probability and the Normal Distribution. O a. I only b. I and Il only O c. Il and III only O d. I, II, and II

Question

I am lost on this question. I have the answer but I don't understand the concept and more specifically, what it all means. 

I understand that p(Z>2) is saying what is the probability of z being greater than +2 but I don't understand how it relates to the options given. 

Which of the following is equal to p(z > 2.00) in a normal distribution?
I. p(z < -2.00)
II. 1- p(z < 2.00)
III. p(z > 1.00)
a. I only
Incorrect. p(z > 2.00)
curve is symmetric about the mean. p(z > 2.00)
< 2.00) because the area under the normal curve is 1.
p(z > 2.00) is not the same thing as p(z > 1.00). See
6.2: Probability and the Normal Distribution.
p(z < -2.00) because the normal
= 1- p(z
%3!
b. I and Il only
c. Il and III only
d. I, II, and III
