Work Step by Step

Use table E or other resources for probability and z-value relations, we can find the area under the standard normal distribution for the following: a. Between 0 and 1.50 $P(0\lt z\lt1.5)=P(z=1.5)-P(z=0)=0.9332-0.5000=0.4332$ b. Between 0 and -1.25 $P(-1/25\lt z\lt0)=P(z=0)-P(z=-1.25)=0.5000-0.1056=0.3944$ c. Between 1.56 and 1.96 $P(1.56\lt z\lt1.96)=P(z=1.96)-P(z=1.56)=0.9750-0.0406=0.0344$ d. Between -1.20 and -2.25 $P(-2.25\lt z\lt -1.20)=P(z=-1.20)-P(z=-2.25)=0.1151-0.0122=0.1029$ e. Between -0.06 and 0.73 $P(-0.06\lt z\lt 0.73)=P(z=0.73)-P(z=-0.06)=0.7673-0.4761=0.2912$ f. Between 1.10 and -1.80 $P(-1.80\lt z\lt1.10)=P(z=1.10)-P(z=-1.80)=0.8643-0.0359=0.8284$ g. To the right of z = 1.75 $P(z\gt1.75)=1-P(z=1.75)=1-0.9599=0.0401$ h. To the right of z=-1.28 $P(z\gt -1.28)=1-P(z=-1.28)=1-0.1003=0.8997$ i. To the left of z=-2.12 $P(z\lt -2.12)=P(z= -2.12)=0.0170$ j. To the left of z = 1.36 $P(z\lt 1.36)=P(z= 1.36)=0.9131$
