Find. Area bet. 100 and 111.5
Find. Area bet. 100 and 111.5
-
Calculate the z-scores
z = x - mean / std
where x is some data value
z_1 = 100 - 116.2 / 20
z_1 = -0.81
Now calculate the other z-score
z_2 = 111.5 - 116.2 / 20
z_2 = -0.235
So with the z-scores we have
P(100 < x < 111.5) = P(-0.81 < x < -0.235)
Step 2: Find P(-0.81 < x < -0.235) with a standard normal table or a calculator
P(-0.81 < x < -0.235) = P(-0.235) - P(-0.81)
≈ P(-0.24) - P(-0.81)
≈ .4052 - .2090
= 0.1962
Solution: Area between 100 and 111.5 is 0.1962.
I rounded to z-score from -0.235 to -0.24.

z_2 = -0.235
So with the z-scores we have

Step 2: Find P(-0.81 < x < -0.235) with a standard normal table or a calculator
P(-0.81 < x < -0.235) = P(-0.235) - P(-0.81)
≈ P(-0.24) - P(-0.81)
≈ .4052 - .2090
= 0.1962
Solution: Area between 100 and 111.5 is 0.1962.
I rounded to z-score from -0.235 to -0.24.
