A normal distribution has mean 200 and standard deviation 50. Find the area under the normal curve from the mean to 224

Hailey15:

I think its kind of different though

Hailey15:

Do I do the same with this one ?

dude:

Yes, find the z-score of 224 the z-score from a mean is automatically 0 standard deviations or (0.500 this is what we will subtract from) Find the z-score of 224

Hailey15:

so 224-0.500/200?

Hailey15:

I am completely wrong right

dude:

No no \(z=\large\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\) \(\mu\)=mean \(\sigma\) = Standard deviation x = your value (In this case, its 16 and 60) Mind the 0.500 for this moment

Hailey15:

oh so I subtract 224 from 60

dude:

realized I copy pasted

Hailey15:

yea I was getting confused lol

dude:

\(\large \frac{224-200}{50}\)

Hailey15:

so I subtract 224 from 200?

dude:

Right

Hailey15:

oh I see

Hailey15:

so 1.2 for the first and what do I subtract the second number with?

dude:

1.2? 224-200 is 24 \(\frac {24}{50}=\)

Hailey15:

oh i mean 0.48

dude:

Right, now using the table find the decimal value

Hailey15:

.6844?

dude:

Right I previously said that the mean has a z-score of 0 which based on the table is 0.5000 So we subtract \(0.6844-0.5000\) And that should be your answer

Hailey15:

so How did u turn 50 into 0.5000

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @dude No no \(z=\large\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\) \(\mu\)=mean \(\sigma\) = Standard deviation x = your value (In this case, its 16 and 60) Mind the 0.500 for this moment \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) didn't happen read it again :)

Hailey15:

Lol thanks I get it now

Hailey15:

@dude thanks so much for your time :)
