Answer to Problem 14CAP

The area left of z score 1.00 and the area right of z score –1.00 are same.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

The given situations are the area to the left of z score 1.00 and another one is the area to the right of z score –1.00.

Calculate the area left of z score 1.00 is, P(z1.00)=P(z<0)+P(0z1.00).

Calculate the value of P(0z1.00).

From Appendix C: Table C.1 “The Unit Normal Table”

  • Locate the z value 1.00 in column A.
  • The probability value located in the column B: Area Between mean and z corresponding to 1.00 is 0.3413.

Thus, the value of P(0z1.00) is 0.3413.

P(z1.00)=P(z<0)+P(0z1.00)=0.5000+0.3413=0.8413

Thus, the area left of z score 1.00 is 0.8413.

Calculate the area right of z score –1.00 is, P(z1.00)=P(1.00z<0)+P(z>0)

Calculate the value of P(1.00z0).

From Appendix C: Table C.1 “The Unit Normal Table”

  • Locate the z value 1.00 in column A.
  • The probability value located in the column B: Area Between mean and z corresponding to 1.00 is 0.3413.

Thus, the value of P(1.00z0) is 0.3413.

P(z1.00)=P(1.00z0)+P(z>0)=0.3413+0.5000=0.8413

Thus, the area right of z score –1.00 is 0.8413.

Thus, the area left of z score 1.00 and the area right of z score –1.00 are same.

Answer to Problem 14CAP

The area to the right of z score –1.00 higher than the area to the right of z score 1.00.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

The given situations are the area to the right of z score 1.00 and another one is the area to the right of z score –1.00.

Calculate the area right of z score 1.00 is, P(z1.00)

From Appendix C: Table C.1 “The Unit Normal Table”

  • Locate the z value 1.00 in column A.
  • The probability value locate in column C: Area Beyond z in tail corresponding to 1.00 is 0.1587.

The value of P(z1.00) is 0.1587.

Thus, the area right of z score 1.00 is 0.1587.

Calculate the area right of z score –1.00 is, P(z1.00)=P(1.00z<0)+P(z>0)

Calculate the value of P(1.00z0).

From Appendix C: Table C.1 “The Unit Normal Table”

  • Locate the z value 1.00 in column A.
  • The probability value locate in the column B: Area Between mean and z corresponding to 1.00 is 0.3413.

Since the normal distribution is symmetric,

P(0z1.00)=P(1.00z0).

From the table value P(0z1.00) is 0.3413.

Thus, the value of P(1.00z0) is 0.3413.

P(z1.00)=P(1.00z0)+P(z>0)=0.3413+0.5000=0.8413

Thus, the area right of z score –1.00 is 0.8413.

Thus, the area right of z score 1.00 is 0.1587 and the area right of z score –1.00 is 0.8413.

Therefore, the area to the right of z score –1.00 higher than the area to the right of z score 1.00.

Answer to Problem 14CAP

The area between the mean and z score 1.20 higher than the area to the right of z score 0.80.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

The given situations are the area between the mean and z score 1.20 and another one is the area right of the z score 0.80.

The mean of the standard normal distribution is 0.

Calculate the area between the mean and z score 1.20 is, P(0<z<1.20).

From Appendix C: Table C.1 “The Unit Normal Table”

  • Locate the z value 1.20 in column A.
  • The probability value located in column B: Area Between mean and z corresponding to 1.20 is 0.3849.

The value of P(0<z<1.20) is 0.3849.

Thus, the area between the mean and z score 1.20 is 0.3849.

Calculate the area right of z score 0.80 is, P(z0.80)

From Appendix C: Table C.1 “The Unit Normal Table”

  • Locate the z value 0.80 in column A.
  • The probability value located in column C: Area Beyond z in tail corresponding to 0.80 is 0.2119.

Thus, the value of P(z0.80) is 0.2119.

Thus, the area right of z score 0.80 is 0.2119.

Thus, the area between the mean and z score 1.20 is 0.3849 and the area right of z 0.80 is 0.2119.

Therefore, the area between the mean and z score 1.20 higher than the area to the right of z score 0.80.

Answer to Problem 14CAP

The area left the mean is lower than the area between the z scores –1.00 and 1.00.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

The given situations are the area left of the mean and another one is the area between the z scores –1.00 to 1.00.

The mean of the standard normal distribution is 0.

Calculate the area left the mean is, P(z<0).

From Appendix C: Table C.1 “The Unit Normal Table”

  • Locate the z value 0.00 in column A.
  • The probability value locate column C: Area Beyond z in tail corresponding to 0.00 is 0.5000.

The value of P(z<0) is 0.5000.

Thus, the area left of the mean is 0.5000.

Calculate the area between of z scores –1.00 and 1.00 is, P(1.00z1.00)=P(z1.00)P(z1.00)

Calculate the P(z1.00)=P(z<0)+P(0z1.00).

From Appendix C: Table C.1 “The Unit Normal Table”

  • Locate the z value 1.00 in column A.
  • The probability value locate in column B: Area Between mean and z corresponding to 1.00 is 0.3413.

The value of P(z1.00) is,

P(z1.00)=P(z<0)+P(0<z<1.00)=0.5000+0.3413=0.8413

Calculate the P(z1.00).

From Appendix C: Table C.1 “The Unit Normal Table”

  • Locate the z value 1.00 in column A.
  • The probability value locate in column C: Area Beyond z in tail corresponding to 1.00 is 0.1587.

Since the normal distribution is symmetric,

P(z1.00)=P(z1.00).

From the table value P(z1.00) is 0.1587.

The value of P(z1.00) is 0.1587.

Thus, the area between of z scores –1.00 and 1.00 is,

P(1.00z1.00)=P(z1.00)P(z1.00)=0.84130.1587=0.6826.

Thus, the area left of the mean is 0.5000 and the area between the z scores –1.00 and 1.00 is 0.6826.

Therefore, the area left the mean is lower than the area between the z scores –1.00 and 1.00.

Answer to Problem 14CAP

The area right of z score 1.65 and the area left of z score –1.65 are same.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

The given situations are the area to the right of z score 1.65 and another one is the area to the left of z score –1.65.

Calculate the area right of z score 1.65 is, P(z1.65)

From Appendix C: Table C.1 “The Unit Normal Table”

  • Locate the z value 1.65 in column A.
  • The probability value locate in column C: Area Beyond z in tail corresponding to 1.65 is 0.0495.

Thus, the value of P(z1.65) is 0.0495.

Thus, the area right of z score 1.65 is 0.0495.

Calculate the area left of z score –1.65 is, P(z1.65)

From Appendix C: Table C.1 “The Unit Normal Table”

  • Locate the z value 1.65 in column A.
  • The probability value locate in column C: Area Beyond z in tail corresponding to 1.65 is 0.0495.

Since the normal distribution is symmetric,

P(z1.65)=P(z1.65).

From the table value P(z1.65) is 0.0495.

Thus, the value of P(z1.65) is 0.0495.

Thus, the area right of z score 1.65 and the area left of z score –1.65 are same.
