1. 5.3 Normal Distributions: Finding Values
Key Concepts:
Finding a z-score given an area below the Standard Normal Curve
Transforming a z-score to an x-value
Finding a specific data value for a given probability

2. 5.3 Normal Distributions: Finding Values
In previous sections, we were asked to find the percentage of observations that lie above/below a given value or between two values.
In this section, we will be given the percentage and asked to find the corresponding data value or values.
Finding z-scores
#2 p. 257 #4
What if the cumulative area = 0.95?
What if the cumulative area = ?
#12

3. 5.3 Normal Distributions: Finding Values
More practice finding z-scores
#26 p. 257
#30 p. 258
We can use what we have learned to convert from z-scores to data values.
#34 p (Kidney Transplant Waiting Times)
#36 p (Ice Cream Consumption)
Challenge!
#42 p (Statistics Grades)
