What is P123 Solution6 z1 lower z score 123 z2 upper z sc
Solution
6.
z1 = lower z score = -1.23
z2 = upper z score = 2.03
Using table/technology, the left tailed areas between these z scores is
P(z < z1) = 0.109348552
P(z < z2) = 0.97882173
Thus, the area between them, by subtracting these areas, is
P(z1 < z < z2) = 0.8699 [ANSWER, D]

We first get the z score for the two values. As z = (x - u) / s, then as
x1 = lower bound = 85
x2 = upper bound = 125
u = mean = 100
s = standard deviation = 15
Thus, the two z scores are
z1 = lower z score = (x1 - u)/s = -1
z2 = upper z score = (x2 - u) / s = 1.666666667
Using table/technology, the left tailed areas between these z scores is
P(z < z2) = 0.952209648
Thus, the area between them, by subtracting these areas, is
P(z1 < z < z2) = 0.9525 [answer, B]
