About % of the area under the curve of the standard normal distribution is between z = − 0.9 z = - 0.9 and z = 0.9 z = 0.9 (or within 0.9 standard deviations of the mean).

Respuesta :

Using the normal distribution, it is found that 63.18% of the area under the curve of the standard normal distribution is between z = − 0.9 z = - 0.9.

Normal Probability Distribution

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

  • The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean.
  • Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.

The area within 0.9 standard deviations of the mean is the p-value of Z = 0.9(0.8159) subtracted by the p-value of Z = -0.9(0.1841), hence:

0.8159 - 0.1841 = 0.6318 = 63.18%.
