Final answer:
To find the area under the standard curve between z=1.5 and z=2.5, subtract the area to the left of z=1.5 from the area to the left of z=2.5 using a Z-table or statistical tool.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area under the standard curve between z=1.5 and z=2.5, we can use a Z-table, which represents the cumulative area to the left of a given z-score. For z=1.5, the area to the left is 0.9332, and for z=2.5, we would need to consult the Z-table or use a statistical tool to obtain the corresponding area. Let's assume this area is A. The area between z=1.5 and z=2.5 is the difference between the two areas, which is A - 0.9332.
For instance, if the area to the left of z=2.5 was found to be 0.9938, the area under the curve between z=1.5 and z=2.5 would be 0.9938 - 0.9332, which equals 0.0606. This gives you the proportion of the data that lies between those two z-scores in the standard normal distribution.
