Sketch the normal curve.
1. Find the area between z= -1.5 and z= -2.5
2. Find the area between z= -1.35 and z=2.95
3. Find the area to the left of z= 2.32
4. Find the area to the right of z= -1.8
no need to sketch just find the areas in between
Determine the area under the standard normal curve that lies betweena. −2.18 and 1.44.b. 1.1 and 4.2.
