The inequality is still true! If you add a number, say 5 to both sides of the following inequality, does anything change?
3 < 6
3 + 5 < 6 + 5
8 < 11
The inequality is still true. We know the statement holds for subtracting the same number because, in a way, addition and subtraction are pretty much the same operation. If I subtract 5 from both sides, I can think of it like "I add negative 5 to both sides" or something along those lines. It's kind of backwards thinking.
Answer:
0.7233
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the area between the z-scores z=-0.95 and z=1.25.
We first find the area to the left of each z-score, and subtract the smaller area from the bigger one.
For the area to the left of z=-0.95, we read -0.9 under 5 from the standard normal distribution table.
This gives P(z<-0.95)=0.1711
Similarly the area to the left of z=1.25 is
P(z<1.25)=0.8944
Now the area between the two z-scores is
P(-0.25<z<1.25)=0.8944-0.1711=0.7233
