following is true.
P(-C≤Z≤c)=0.9715
Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places. Round your answer to two decimal places.


Sagot :

Using the normal distribution, considering it's symmetry, it is found that the value of C is of 2.19.

Normal Probability Distribution

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

  • The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean.
  • Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.

The standard normal distribution has mean and standard deviation given, respectively, by:

[tex]\mu = 0, \sigma = 1[/tex].

Hence, considering the symmetry of the normal distribution, the value of c is Z with a p-value of (1 + 0.9715)/2 = 0.98575, hence c = Z = 2.19.
