-aux.06.normal distribution to standard distribution

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on converting a normal distribution to a standard distribution using z-scores. The participants utilized the formula $\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=z$ to calculate z-scores for specific values, with $\mu = 0.76$ and $\sigma = 0.06$. The calculated probabilities include $P(.70 PREREQUISITES

  • Understanding of normal distribution and standard distribution concepts
  • Familiarity with z-scores and their calculation
  • Knowledge of using z-tables for probability determination
  • Basic statistical terminology and notation
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the properties of normal distributions and their applications
  • Learn how to interpret and utilize z-tables effectively
  • Explore advanced statistical concepts such as confidence intervals
  • Investigate the implications of standard deviations in data analysis
USEFUL FOR

Students, statisticians, and data analysts who are working with normal distributions and require a solid understanding of z-scores and probability calculations.

so for (a) (i) I used $\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=z
$\dfrac{0.70-0.76}{0.06}=-1 = a $ and $\frac{0.79-0.76}{0.06}=.5 = b$
ii $P(.70<X)$ z-table for $-1$ is $0.3413$ so $0.3413 + .500 = 0.8413$
$P(.70<X<.79)$ z-table for $.5$ is $0.1915$ so $0.3413+0.1915=0.5328$

Looks good so far! (Sun)
 
(b) (i)
View attachment 1139

(ii) z-table for $3\% \approx -1.88$

so $\frac{c-0.76}{0.06}=-1.88$ thus $c\approx 0.65 s$

my shaky attempt at this anyway(Wasntme)
 
Again, looks good! (Clapping)
