Question

Find the z-score corresponding to the given area. Remember, z is distributed as the standard normal distribution with mean of and standard deviation .

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The z-score corresponding to a given area of a distribution, is the number of standard deviations that the values in that area have/are from the mean.

In this case, we have a STANDARD normal distribution. In a standard normal distribution, the mean is 0 and the standard deviation is 1.

The Z-score corresponding to a given area, say the 30th percentile is

X = 0 + (-0.524)(1)

Hence, the X (number of values in the given percentile - in this case, 30th) is same as the z-table or z-calculator value for the 30th percentile in ANY normal distribution.
