Theoretical Normal Curve
Distances on horizontal axis, expressed in terms of standard deviation units, always cut off the same area. We can use this property to describe areas above or below any point in terms of probability of occuring

Using the Normal Curve: Z Scores To find areas, first compute Z scores. The formula changes a “raw” score (Xi) to a
standardized score (Z), expressed in terms of standard deviation units above or below the mean

Using Appendix A to Find Areas Below a Score
Appendix A can be used to find the areas above or below a score, provided the distribution is normal
First compute the Z score, taking careful note of the sign of the score.
Draw a picture of the normal curve and shade in the area in which you are interested.

Using Appendix A Find your Z score
in Column A. To find area below
a positive score: Add column b area
to .50.
To find area above a positive score Look in column c.

Using Appendix A The area below Z = 1.67 is 0.4525 +
0.5000 or 0.9525. Areas can be expressed as percentages:
0.9525 = 95.25%
95.2

Using Appendix A What if the Z score
is negative (–1.67)? To find area below
a negative score: Look in column c.
To find area above a negative score Add column b .50

Finding Probabilities
Areas under the curve can also be expressed as probabilities.
Probabilities are proportions and range from 0.00 to 1.00.
The higher the value, the greater the probability (the more likely the event) that a particular case will fall within that area.

Finding Probabilities
If A distribution has: = 13 s = 4
What is the probability of randomly selecting a score of 19 or more?
Z = (19-13)/4 = 6/4 = 1.5
