Continuous Variables
Discrete Variable – each value of X has its own probability P(X).
Continuous Variable – events are intervals and probabilities are areas underneath smooth curves. A single point has no probability.
Total area under curve = 1

Standard Normal Distribution
Since for every value of m and s, there is a different normal distribution, we transform a normal random variable to a standard normal distribution with m = 0 and s = 1 using the formula:
z =x – m s

Standard Normal DistributionAppendix allows you to find
the area under the curve from 0 to z.

Standard Normal Distribution
Now find P(-1.96 < Z < 1.96).Due to symmetry, P(-1.96 < Z) is the same
as P(Z < 1.96).
So, P(-1.96 < Z < 1.96) = .4750 + .4750 = .9500 or 95% of the area under the curve.

Standard Normal Distribution
Suppose John took an economics exam and scored 86 points. The class mean was 75 with a standard deviation of 7. What percentile is John in (i.e., find P(X < 86)?
zJohn = x – m s
= 86 – 75 7
= 11/7 = 1.57
So John’s score is 1.57 standard deviations about the mean.

Standard Normal Distribution For example, let m = 2.040 cm and s = .001 cm,
what is the probability that a given steel bearing will have a diameter between 2.039 and 2.042cm?
In other words, P(2.039 < X < 2.042) Excel only gives left tail areas, so break the
formula into two, find P(X < 2.039) and P(X < 2.042), then subtract them to find the desired probability:

Standard Normal Distribution
P(X < 2.042) = .9773 P(X < 2.039) = .1587
P(2.039 < X < 2.042) = .9773 - .1587 = .8186 or 81.9%

Example
a. 0.8276: First find z -1.5, found by (44 - 50)/4 and
z = 1.25 = (55 - 50)/4. The area between -1.5 and 0 is
0.4332 and the area between 0 and 1.25 is 0.3944, both
from Appendix D. Then adding the two areas we find
that 0.4332 + 0.3944 = 0.8276.
b. 0.1056, found by 0.5000 - 0.3994, where z = 1.25.
c. 0.2029: Recall that the area for z = 1.25 is 0.3944, and
the area for z = 0.5, found by (52 - 50)/4, is 0.1915.
Then subtract 0.3944 - 0.1915 and find 0.2029.
