Question

If Z is a standard normal variable find the probability. The probability that Z lies between -0.558 and 0.558

Answer 1

0.4245

Explanation:

The probability that Z lies between -0.558 and 0.558 can be written as;

P(-0.558 < z < 0.558) = P(z < 0.558) - P(z < -0.558)

Using z - distribution table, we have;

P(z < 0.558) = 0.7122

P(z < -0.558) = 0.2877

Thus;

P(z < 0.558) - P(z < -0.558) = 0.7122 - 0.2877 = 0.4245
