    Finding Z-Scores From Probabilities

    Uploaded by

    The document provides instructions for finding z-scores and areas under the standard normal curve given probabilities or areas. It explains that to find a z-score, the corresponding area should be looked up in the normal distribution table and adjusted (e.g. made negative) based on whether it is in the left or right tail. To find an area, the appropriate z-score can be used to divide the total corresponding area in half or perform other calculations outlined before looking up the result in the normal table.

    Finding z-scores from probabilities

    Situation Area between 0 and a value Area in one tail Instructions Look up the area in the table Make negative if on the left side Subtract the area from 0.5000 Look up the difference in the table Make negative if in the left tail

    Area including one complete half Subtract 0.5000 from the area (Less than a positive or greater than a Look up the difference in the table negative) Make negative if on the left side Within z units of the mean Divide the area by 2 Look up the quotient in the table Use both the positive and negative z-scores

    Two tails with equal area (More than z units from the mean)

    Subtract the area from 1.000 Divide the area by 2 Look up the quotient in the table Use both the positive and negative z-scores

    Finding area under the curve (Using Standard Normal Table)


    Situation Between zero and any number Between two positives, or Between two negatives Between a negative and a positive Less than a negative, or Greater than a positive Greater than a negative, Or Less than a positive Instructions Look up the area in the table Look up both areas in the table and subtract the smaller from the larger.

    Look up both areas in the table and add them together Look up the area in the table and subtract from 0.5000

    Look up the area in the table and add to 0.5000
