d) -2.50

e) 2.55

f) None of the above.

C). Suppose X is a normal random variable with = 40 and = 20. Find P(X > -11.4).

a) 0.0051

b) 0.9949

c) 0.9938

d) 0.0062

e) 0.9867

f) None of the above.

Explanation / Answer

A) The value can be found out from the standard normal distribution table

P(Z > z) = 0.6331

So, P(Z < z) = 1 - 0.6331 = 0.3669

Z = -0.34 (option a)

B) P(Z < z) = 0.0052

Z = -2.56 (option b)

c) P(X < A) = P(Z < (A - mean)/standard deviation

P(X > - 11.4) = 1 - P(X < -11.4)

= 1 - P(Z < (-11.4 - 40)/20)

= 1 - P(Z < -2.57)

= 1 - 0.0051

= 0.9949 (option b)
