Chapter 7 – Section 2
● The standard normal curve is the one with mean μ = 0 and standard deviation σ = 1
● We have related the general normal random variable to the standard normal random variable through the Z-score
● In this section, we discuss how to compute with the standard normal random variable
X
Z

Chapter 7 – Section 2
● There are several ways to calculate the area under the standard normal curve What does not work – some kind of a simple formula We can use a table (such as Table IV on the inside
back cover) We can use technology (a calculator or software)
● Using technology is preferred

Chapter 7 – Section 2
● Three different area calculations Find the area to the left of Find the area to the right of Find the area between
● Three different area calculations Find the area to the left of Find the area to the right of Find the area between
● Three different methods shown here From a table Using Excel Using StatCrunch

● "To the left of" – using a table● Calculate the area to the left of Z = 1.68
● "To the left of" – using a table● Calculate the area to the left of Z = 1.68
Break up 1.68 as 1.6 + .08
● "To the left of" – using a table● Calculate the area to the left of Z = 1.68
Break up 1.68 as 1.6 + .08 Find the row 1.6
Enter

● “Between”● Between Z = – 0.51 and Z = 1.87● This is not a one step calculation
Sullivan – Fundamentals of Statistics – 2nd Edition – Chapter 7 Section 2 – Slide 14 of 32
Chapter 7 – Section 2
● The left hand picture … to the left of 1.87 … includes too much
● It is too much by the right hand picture … to the left of -0.51
Includedtoo much
Sullivan – Fundamentals of Statistics – 2nd Edition – Chapter 7 Section 2 – Slide 15 of 32
Chapter 7 – Section 2
● Between Z = – 0.51 and Z = 1.87

Chapter 7 – Section 2
● We can use any of the three methods to compute the normal probabilities to get

equals The difference of 0.6643
● We can use any of the three methods to compute the normal probabilities to get

equals The difference of 0.6643
● Thus the area under the standard normal curve between -0.51 and 1.87 is 0.6643

Z-Score Area● Now we will do the reverse of that
Area Z-Score
● We did the problem:
Z-Score Area● Now we will do the reverse of that
Area Z-Score● This is finding the Z-score (value) that
corresponds to a specified area (percentile)● And … no surprise … we can do this with a
table, with Excel, with StatCrunch, with …

● We will often want to find a middle range, to find the middle 90% or the middle 95% or the middle 99%, of the standard normal
● The middle 90% would be
Sullivan – Fundamentals of Statistics – 2nd Edition – Chapter 7 Section 2 – Slide 28 of 32
Chapter 7 – Section 2
● 90% in the middle is 10% outside the middle, i.e. 5% off each end
● These problems can be solved in either of two equivalent ways
● We could find The number for which 5% is to the left, or The number for which 5% is to the right
Sullivan – Fundamentals of Statistics – 2nd Edition – Chapter 7 Section 2 – Slide 29 of 32
Chapter 7 – Section 2
● The two possible ways The number for which 5% is to the left, or The number for which 5% is to the right
5% is to the left 5% is to the right

● The number zα is the Z-score such that the area to the right of zα is α
● The number zα is the Z-score such that the area to the right of zα is α
● Some useful values are z.10 = 1.28, the area between -1.28 and 1.28 is 0.80
z.05 = 1.64, the area between -1.64 and 1.64 is 0.90
z.025 = 1.96, the area between -1.96 and 1.96 is 0.95
z.01 = 2.33, the area between -2.33 and 2.33 is 0.98
z.005 = 2.58, the area between -2.58 and 2.58 is 0.99

● The area under a normal curve can be interpreted as a probability
● The standard normal curve can be interpreted as a probability density function
● The area under a normal curve can be interpreted as a probability
● The standard normal curve can be interpreted as a probability density function
● We will use Z to represent a standard normal random variable, so it has probabilities such as P(a < Z < b) P(Z < a) P(Z > a)
Sullivan – Fundamentals of Statistics – 2nd Edition – Chapter 7 Section 2 – Slide 33 of 32
Summary: Chapter 7 – Section 2
● Calculations for the standard normal curve can be done using tables or using technology
● One can calculate the area under the standard normal curve, to the left of or to the right of each Z-score
● One can calculate the Z-score so that the area to the left of it or to the right of it is a certain value
● Areas and probabilities are two different representations of the same concept
Sullivan – Fundamentals of Statistics – 2nd Edition – Chapter 7 Section 2 – Slide 34 of 32
Example: Chapter 7 – Section 2
● Determine the area under the standard normal curve that lies
a. to the left of Z = –2.31. (0.0104)
b. to the right of Z = –1.47. (0.9292)
c. between Z = –2.31 and Z = 0. (0.4896)
d. between Z = –2.31 and Z = –1.47. (0.0603)
e. between Z = 1.47 and Z = 2.31. (0.0603)
f. between Z = –2.31 and Z = 1.47. (0.9188)
g. to the left of Z = –2.31 or to the right of Z = 1.47. (0.0812)

Example: Chapter 7 – Section 2
● The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is a test required for admission to many U.S. graduate schools. The Department of Molecular Genetics at Ohio State University requires a GRE score no less than the 60th percentile. (Source: www.biosci.ohio-state.edu/~molgen/html/admission_criteria.html.)
a. Find the Z-score corresponding to the 60th percentile. In other words, find the Z-score such that the area under the standard normal curve to the left is 0.60. (0.25)
b. How many standard deviations above the mean is the 60th percentile? (0.25)
