ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

What you're seeing is a table with rows and columns

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

lol ganshie i hope that humor.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Scroll down until you see 1.6 in the left most in a row

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

http://prntscr.com/b1krfc

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

So you're in the row which gives the probabilities corresponding to the zvalues between 1.6 and 1.7

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Your goal is to locate the probability corresponding to the zvalue 1.67

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Notice 1.67 = 1.6 + 0.07

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

gansh can you tell me what all the variables represent

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

http://prnt.sc/b1kqot that will help me process it

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

look in the row that starts with `1.6` (marked in red) and the column that has `0.07` up top (marked in green). It's the third from the right side together, these row and columns combine to intersect. The value at this row and column combo is 0.95254 so the area to the left of z = 1.67 is approximately 0.95254 see attached

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

oh okay thanks. medals for both.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

You won't understand this simply by knowing what the variables represent. This is statistics, not so easy. Are you skipping reading lessons and directly attempting homework?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

to get the area to the right of z = 1.67, subtract the value in the table from 1 1 - (area to the left) = 1 - 0.95254 = 0.04746 so the area to the right of the z score is 0.04746 (approx)

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

ganeshie. this is a screenshot included in the lesson. i have not started the assessment.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

\(\Large \mu\) = greek letter mu (lowercase) = population mean \(\Large \sigma\) = greek letter sigma (lowercase) = population standard deivation

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

but i opened up the lesson and this is what it shot me with. im so confused.

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

oh okay jim. thanks.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Good good. Just making sure you don't take stats too light haha
