Answer to Problem 19CAP
The area above the mean and the area below the mean is, same.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
The given information is that, the set of data is distributed normally with mean 3.5 and standard deviation 0.6.
The area below the mean is,
Software procedure:
Step by step procedure to obtain the probability by using SPSS software as follows:
- Go to Variable View, enter the variable name as Score and make Decimals column as 4.
- Go to Data View, enter the value in score column as 3.5.
- Go to Transform tab, choose Compute Variables.
- Enter Target variable as probabilty.
- Choose CDF &non-central CDF from the function group then select Cdf.Normal from the
functions . - In Numeric Expression CDF.NORMAL (pro, mean, stddev), choose the first variable as Scores from the left side tab, enter second variable as 3.5 and third variable as 0.6.
- Click on OK.
Output using SPSS software is given as follows:
From the output, the value of
The area below the mean is 0.5000.
The area above the mean is,
The area above the mean is 0.5000.
Thus, the area above the mean and the area below the mean is same.

Answer to Problem 19CAP
The area between the value mean and 3.5 is lower than the area above the value 5.3.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
The value of the mean is 3.5.
The area between the values mean and 3.5 is,
The area between the values of mean and 3.5 is 0.
The area above the value 5.3 is,
Software procedure:
Step by step procedure to obtain the probability by using SPSS software as follows:
- Go to Variable View, enter the variable name as Score.
- Go to Data View, enter the value in score column as 5.3.
- Go to Transform tab, choose Compute Variables.
- Enter Target variable as probabilty.
- Choose CDF &non-central CDF from the function group then select Cdf.Normal from the functions.
- In Numeric Expression CDF.NORMAL (pro, mean, stddev), choose the first variable as Score from the left side tab, enter second variable as 3.5 and third variable as 0.6.
- Click on OK.
Output using SPSS software is given as follows:
From the output, the value of
The area above 5.3 is,
The area above the value 5.3 is 0.0013.
Thus, the area between the value mean and 3.5 is lower than the area above the value 5.3.
