Sagot :

Probability of an event is the measure of its chance of occurrence. The event out of the listed events whose probability is 0.2957 is given by : Option C: [tex]P(0.25 \leq Z \leq 1.25)[/tex]

How to get the z scores?

If we've got a normal distribution, then we can convert it to standard normal distribution and its values will give us the z-score.

If we have

[tex]X \sim N(\mu, \sigma)[/tex]

(X is following normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] )

then it can be converted to standard normal distribution as

[tex]Z = \dfrac{X - \mu}{\sigma}, \\\\Z \sim N(0,1)[/tex]

(Know the fact that in continuous distribution, probability of a single point is 0, so we can write

[tex]P(Z \leq z) = P(Z < z) )[/tex]

Also, know that if we look for Z = z in z tables, the p-value we get is

[tex]P(Z \leq z) = \rm p \: value[/tex]

Using the z-table, we get the needed probabilities as:

Case 1:

[tex]P(-1.25 \leq Z \leq 0.25) = P(Z \leq 0.25) - P(Z \leq -1.25) \approx 0.5987 - 0.1056 = 0.4931[/tex]

Case 2:

[tex]P(-1.25 \leq Z \leq 0.75) = P(Z \leq 0.75) - P(Z \leq -1.25) \approx 0.7734- 0.1056=0.6678[/tex]

Case 3:

[tex]P(0.25 \leq Z \leq 1.25) = P(Z \leq 1.25) - P(Z \leq 0.25) \approx 0.8944 - 0.5987=0.2957[/tex]

Case 4:

[tex]P(0.75 \leq Z \leq 1.25) = P(Z \leq 1.25) - P(Z \leq 0.75) \approx 0.8944 - 0.7734 =0.1210[/tex]

Thus, the event out of the listed events whose probability is 0.2957 is given by : Option C: [tex]P(0.25 \leq Z \leq 1.25)[/tex]
