PROBABILITY

DISTRIBUTIONS
Example 1 :

Find the value of each of the following probabilities

by using the calculator.
Mode casio 570
dist P( Q( R(
SD shift + 3 1 2 3

Choose P(z) if P(z<)

(a) P(Z > 0.934)
Choose Q(z) if P( <z<0)
or P( 0<z< ) = R(0.934)

Choose R(z) if P(z>) = 0.1752

Example 2 :

Find the value of each of the following probabilities by

using the calculator.

(b) P(Z <1.25)

1.25 1.25

Solution
P(z< 1.25) = 1 P(Z > 1.25) Or P(1.25)
= 1 0.1057 = 0.8944
= 0.8944
(c) P(Z < - 1.512)

-1.512 1.512

P(Z < - 1.512) = P(Z > 1.512)

= 0.06527
or

P(-1.512) = R(1.512)
= 0.06527
(d) P(Z > - 0.23)

-0.23 0.23

P(z > - 0.23) = 1 P(Z < - 0.23)

R(-0.23)
= 1 P(Z > 0.23) or

= 1 0.40905 =0.59095
= 0.59095
(e) P(0.4 < Z < 1.2)

0.4 1.2
0.4 1.2

P(0.4 < Z < 1.2) = P(Z > 0.4) P(Z > 1.2)
= 0.3446 0.1151
= 0.2295

Or
R(0.4) R (1.2) = 0.3446 0.1151
= 0.2295
(f) P(- 0.828 < Z < - 0. 555)
P(-0.555) P(-0.828) = R(0.555) R(0.828)

= 0.08561

-0.828 -0.555 0.555 0.828 0.555 0.828

P(-0.828 < z < - 0. 555) = P(0.555 < z < 0. 828)

= P(Z > 0.555) P(Z > 0.828)
= 0.28945 0.20384
= 0.08561
(g) P(- 0.255 < Z < 0.13)

-0.255 0.13 -0.255 0.13

P(-0.255< Z < 0.13) = 1 P(Z < - 0.255) P(Z > 0.13)

= 1 P(Z > 0.255) P(Z > 0.13)
= 1 0.39936 0.44828
= 0.1524
or
Q(-0.255) + Q(0.13)
= 0.10064 + 0.05172
= 0.1524
