Document Summary

Stat 1181 notes: normal curve and distribution (cid:120) the second decimal point of the z-score determines the column and the remaining part determines the row in the z-table, i. e. z (cid:32) (cid:32) 1. 65 1. 6 | 5 1. 6 | 5 column row (cid:32) Normal calculations (cid:120) a general numerical variable ( x ) can be converted into a z-score by a process called standardization. X (cid:80) (cid:16) (cid:86) (cid:120) then, the corresponding proportion (or normal probability) can be found from the z-table. Use the z-table to answer the following questions: find the proportion of professional basketball players (or them) who is over 215cm. X (cid:32) (cid:32) (cid:16) (cid:86: find the proportion of professional basketball players (or them) that is between 176cm and 213cm. Inverse normal calculations (cid:120) to do this type of calculations, you will have to express x in terms of the rest, i. e. x. Find the z-value so that the area to the left is.
