a) Fact: the region under the standard normal curve that lies to the left of -1.15 has area 0.125072.
Without consulting a table or a calculator giving areas under the standard normal curve, determine the area under the standard normal curve
that lies to the right of 1.15.
answer:
b) Which property of the standard normal curve allowed you to answer part a)?
O A. Almost all the area under the standard normal curve lies between -3 and 3
OB. The total area under the curve is 1
OC. The standard normal curve is symmetric about 0
D. The standard normal curve extends indefinitely in both directions
O E. None of the above

Expert Solution
Step 1

Assume, X be the random variable which follows normal distribution with Mean=μ and Standard deviation=σ

The proportion of data points with value in between a and b, can be given by the area under the normal distribution curve (with Mean=μ and Standard deviation=σ) that lies between X=a and X=b.

The total area under the normal curve is always 1 and the normal curve is a bell shaped curve which is symmetric about the mean.
