Question

What is the area of the shaded region between the two z-scores indicated in the standard normal curve shown below. z=-1.23 z=0.83

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct option A: 0.6874

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

To calculate the area within the interval [-1.23; 0.83], you have to subtract to the probability accumulated till the lower value to the probability accumulated to the higher value, symbolically:

P(Z≤0.83)-P(Z≤-1.23)

You have to use the Z table to look for the corresponding values of probability. The negative value is in the left entry and the positive value is in the right entry. The first column shows the integer and first decimal value, the second decimal value is in the first row, you cross both values and find the value of probability.

P(Z≤0.83)-P(Z≤-1.23)= 0.7967 - 0.1093= 0.6874

I hope it helps!
