Question:

Determine the area under the standard normal curve that lies between

(a) {eq}z = -2.55 {/eq} and {eq}z = 2.55 {/eq}.

(b) {eq}z = -1.67 {/eq} and {eq}z = 0 {/eq}.

(c) {eq}z = -3.03 {/eq} and {eq}z = 1.98 {/eq}.

Normal Distribution Probability:

In this question, we will use the concept of normal distribution to calculate the area probability under the standard normal curve. An excel function of normal distribution NORMDIST() is used to get the probability value.

a)

Given:

{eq}P(-2.55 < Z < 2.55) {/eq}


Using the properties of probabilities, we can write this as,

{eq}P(-2.55 < Z < 2.55) = P(Z...
