I have several problems to solve in this area with limited time.

1. Find the area under the normal distribution curve to the right of z= -3.24 it could be one of four answers: 0.499 or -0.499 or 0.999 or 0.001

2. Find the area under the normal distribution curve between z= -1.34 and x= 2.95. it could be one of four answers: 0.908 or 0.088 or 0.410 or 0.498

3.The area under a normal distribution curve that lies within one standard deiviation of the mean is approximately_____.

is it: 95% or 99.7% or 68% or 65%.

4. Find the area under the normal distribution curve to the right of z = -1.03. it could be one of four answers: 0.151 or -0.349 or 0.349 or 0.849.

5. Which of the following is not a propeerty of a normal distribution? it never touches the x-axis or it is continuous or the mean, median, and mode are equal or it is bimodal (i.e. it has two modes).

  1. 1: Area=0.999

    2: Area=0.908 (though it is between z1 and z2 not between z1 and x1)

    3: 68%

    4: Area=0.849

    5: it is bimodal - is False (though I'm not very confident)

    True - the mean, median, and mode are equal

    True - it is continuous

    True - it never touches the x-axis
