Z Scores and Normal Distribution

The graph below shows the standardized normal distribution. The red line indicates the location of your point.
Use Zar, Table B.2, to determine the proportion of the normal distribution less than and greater than your point. M
sure you are able to use the table to match the answers given below.
(Note: In the 4th edition of Zar, Table B.2 is on page App17. In the 5th edition, Table B.2 is on page 676)

Make sure you can work with both positive and negative Z [Link] you are having problems, see your instructor!

Your point is Z = 1.89 -0.61

The proportion of the normal distribution that is less than your point is: 0.9706

The proportion of the normal distribution that is greater than your point is: 0.0294
