Chapter 6 Section 2 Standard Units and Areas Under the Standard Normal Distribution
3
Z Score The z value or z score tells the number of standard deviations the original measurement is from the mean. The z value is in standard units.
4
Formula for z score
5
Calculating z-scores The amount of time it takes for a pizza delivery is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 25 minutes and a standard deviation of 2 minutes. Convert 21 minutes to a z-score.
6
Calculating z-scores Mean delivery time = 25 minutes Standard deviation = 2 minutes Convert 29.7 minutes to a z score.
7
Interpreting z-scores Mean delivery time = 25 minutes Standard deviation = 2 minutes Interpret a z score of 1.6. The delivery time is 28.2 minutes.
8
Standard Normal Distribution: μ = 0 σ = 1 Values are converted to z scores where
9
Importance of the Standard Normal Distribution: 1 0 11 The areas are equal. Any Normal Distribution: Standard Normal Distribution:
10
Use of the Normal Probability Table (Table 4) - Appendix I Entries give the probability that a standard normally distributed random variable will assume a value between the mean (zero) and a given z-score.

12
Patterns for Finding Areas Under the Standard Normal Curve To find the area between a given z value and zero: Use Table 4 (Appendix I) directly. z 0
13
Patterns for Finding Areas Under the Standard Normal Curve To find the area between z values on either side of zero: Add area from z 1 to zero to area from zero to z 2. z2z2 0 z1z1
14
Patterns for Finding Areas Under the Standard Normal Curve To find the area between z values on the same side of zero: Subtract area from zero to z 1 from the area from zero to z 2. z2z2 0 z1z1
15
Patterns for Finding Areas Under the Standard Normal Curve To find the area to the right of a positive z value or to the left of a negative z value: Subtract the area from zero to z from 0.5000. z 0 0.5000

Patterns for Finding Areas Under the Standard Normal Curve To find the area to the left of a positive z value or to the right of a negative z value: Add 0.5000 to the area from zero to z. z 0 0.5000 table
