Find the value of z such that 0.8664 of the area lies between −z and z. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Sagot :

Using the normal distribution, the value of z is of z = 1.5.

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.

For this problem, considering the symmetry of the normal distribution, the area above the mean is given by:

0.8664/2 = 0.4332.

Hence z has a p-value of 0.5  + 0.4332 = 0.9332, hence the value of z is z = 1.5.
