How To Find Area Under A Normal Curve?

Answer Question

Answer 1

A normal distribution is a symmetrical distribution. In a normal distribution mean, mode and median of the data set are equal. All values are cluster around the mean or average in a normal distribution. The normal curve is a bell shaped and the total area under the curve is equal to one. Normal distribution is based on two parameters that are mean and variance.

Z= [x- mean]/ standard deviation

For each value of x we get different values of z. These values are checked in area table to find the value of area under the curve.

Find the percent of the total area under the curve between z = -2.36 and z = -0.14

Answer 3

Normal distibution is a continuous distribution and every distribution follows normal distribution when sample size is large. It has two parameters, one is mean and second one is standard deviation.
When mean = 0 and Sd = 1, normal distribution change into standard normal distribution and curve is known as standard normal curve.
Z = (x- mean)/standard deviation

For each value of x we get different values of z. The area under curve of value of z is calculate from using normal area curve table.

Total area under the curve between z= -2.36 and z= -0.14
= Area under curve between z= -2.36 and z= 0 - Area uder curve between z = -0.14 and z= 0
= Prob (Z=-2.36 and Z=0) - Prob (Z= -.14 and Z=0)
= 0.4904 - 0..0557
= 0.4347
Percent of the total area under the curve between z = -2.36 and z = -0.14
= 0.4347 *100
= 43.47%
