The area under a normal distribution is one since, by definition, the sum of any series of probabilities is one and, therefore, the integral (or area under the curve) of any probability distribution from negative infinity to infinity is one. However, if you take an interval of a normal distribution, its area can be anywhere between 0 and 1.

Find the area under the normal distribution curve between z equals 1.23 and z equals 1.90?

Look in any standard normal distribution table; one is given in the related link. Find the area for 2.43 and 1.52; then take the area for 2.43 and subtract the area for 1.52 and that will be the answer. Therefore, .9925 - .9357 = .0568 = area under the normal distribution curve between z equals 1.52 and z equals 2.43.


Find the z-score for which 8 percent of the distribution's area lies between -z and z?

To find the z-score where 8% of the distribution's area lies between -z and z, we first recognize that this means 4% (or 0.04) lies in each tail of the normal distribution. Therefore, we need to find the z-score that corresponds to the cumulative area of 0.04 in the left tail. Using standard normal distribution tables or a calculator, we find that the z-score for 0.04 is approximately -1.75. Thus, the positive z-score is approximately 1.75, meaning z ≈ 1.75.


What is the area under the normal distribution curve between z 1.52 and z2.43?

To find the area under the normal distribution curve between z = 1.52 and z = 2.43, you can look up the z-scores in a standard normal distribution table or use a calculator. The area to the left of z = 1.52 is approximately 0.9357, and the area to the left of z = 2.43 is approximately 0.9925. Subtracting these values gives an area of approximately 0.9925 - 0.9357 = 0.0568. Thus, the area between z = 1.52 and z = 2.43 is about 0.0568.

Why does a researcher want to go from a normal distribution to a standard normal distribution?

A researcher wants to go from a normal distribution to a standard normal distribution because the latter allows him/her to make the correspondence between the area and the probability. Though events in the real world rarely follow a standard normal distribution, z-scores are convenient calculations of area that can be used with any/all normal distributions. Meaning: once a researcher has translated raw data into a standard normal distribution (z-score), he/she can then find its associated probability.


The total area under a normal distribution is infinite?

The total area under a normal distribution is not infinite. The total area under a normal distribution is a continuous value between any 2 given values. The function of a normal distribution is actually defined such that it must have a fixed value. For the "standard normal distribution" where μ=0 and σ=1, the area under the curve is equal to 1.
