  • This tutorial shows how to calculate areas/probabilities using the cumulative standard normal tables.
    For 0 to Z tables: • Normal Distribution | ...
    For inverse lookup: • Normal Distribution: ...
    Steps for calculating areas/probabilities using the cumulative normal distribution table:
    1. Translate the score (x) into a z-score:
    2. Find the corresponding area from the z-table.
    3. i) For less than area/probability, the area in the table is the answer.
    ii) For greater than area, subtract area in the table from 1.
    iii) For area between, subtract smaller area from larger area.

    Why did you use the column 0.02?

    • @robinkaler1091
      @robinkaler1091 6 лет назад +1

      By looking at the decimal for the zscore. Since the zscore was -1.22, you use the colum for 0.02

    • @Audreyada817
      @Audreyada817 6 лет назад +20

      Because the Zscore was -1.22 you find the tenths place (1.2) on the vertical values. Then you find the hundredths place of 1.22 (.02) in the columns.
      So if your z score was -1.23 then go to row 1.2 and column .03, If the z score is -1.24 then the row is still 1.2 but the column will be .04
      Hope that makes it clear.
