A normal distribution has mean 08 standard deviation 0078
A normal distribution has mean = 0.8, standard deviation = 0.078
1) What proportion of this distribution is lower than 0.6
2) What proportion of this distribution is higher than 0.9
Solution
Let us calculate the z-scores
Mean = 0.8
SD = 0.078
P(X < 0.6) = P ( Z < 0.6 - 0.8 / 0.078)
= P(Z < -2.564)
= 0.005172
Similarly,
P ( X > 0.9) = 1 - P (X < 0.9)
= 1 - P ( Z < 0.9-.0.8 / 0.078)
= 1 -P(Z < 1.282)
= 0.099912
