Average: 60 Standard diviation: 11.35 What is the probability that a randomly selected monthly cell phone bill is between $45 and $70?
so.... same concept as last time; but we want the probability from defined points
z1 = (45 - 60)/11.35 z2 = (70-60)/11.35
if we use the table i posted in the last one; we would simply then subtract: z2 - z1
or rather tthe probability values associated with z2 from those of z1
z1 = -1.32 P(z1) = .4066 z2 = 0.88 P(z2) = .8106
P(z2) - P(z1) = .404 then if i did it right
shouldn't it be .3106? for z2
no, since it is to the right of the mean; z is positive; it is greater than .5 but let me dbl chk to see that I got the right p-value for it
z=.88 lines up with .8 on the left and .08 from the top to meet at .8106
on your table it appearts that they measure FROM the mean so you need to add .5 to it
<---------(0).........(.88) -----------> .5 +.3108
.404 wasn't the answer, i can't figure it out
are the zscores good then?
i think so?
z2 = .88 ; 10/11.35 z1 = -1.32; -15/11.35 <--------(-1.32).............(0).................(.88)---------> .4066 .5 +.3108
might be .0934 if i read the wolf right
.81056-.0934 then
cannot type today
.7172 perhaps?
.9066 - .5 = .4066 from the mean, which if i see it right is good; the other is .3108 from the mean .4066 +.3108 ------- .7174 is the total probability to the left and right of the mean ... i was just intepreting it wrong
