Answer: a) 0.7814

b) False

Explanation:

To find : The p-value of z , where


-1.23<z< +1.23


P(-1.23<z< +1.23)=1-P(z<-1.23)\\\\=1-0.1093=0.7814

Hence, the standard normal probability
P(-1.23<z< +1.23)=0.7814

In the formula used to convert "real-world" data values into z numbers, the standard deviation of the data is considered.

The formula to calculate the z score is
z=(x-\mu)/(\sigma).

If sample size (n) is given then , the
z=(x-\mu)/((\sigma)/(√(n)))

Hence, the statement is false.
