The total area of a normal probability distribution is?
The total area of any probability distribution is 1
Is in the normal distribution the total area beneath the curve represent the probability for all possible outcomes for a given event?
Yes. The total area under any probability distribution curve is always the probability of all possible outcomes - which is 1.
How is probability related to the area under the normal curve?
The Normal curve is a graph of the probability density function of the standard normal distribution and, as is the case with any continuous random variable (RV), the probability that the RV takes a value in a given range is given by the integral of the function between the two limits. In other words, it is the area under the curve between those two values.
What is the probability of P z-0.41 using the standard normal distribution?
See the related link for the area at 0.41 (same as -0.41) which is 0.1591. This area, which is the probability, is from minus infinity to -0.41. If you want the area from -0.41 to plus infinity you need to take 1 - 0.1591 which is 0.8409.
What is the total area under the normal distribution curve?
The area under the normal distribution curve represents the probability of an event occurring that is normally distributed. So, the area under the entire normal distribution curve must be 1 (equal to 100%). For example, if the mean (average) male height is 5'10" then there is a 50% chance that a randomly selected male will have a height that is below or exactly 5'10". This is because the area under the normal curve from the left hand side up to the mean consists of half of the entire area of the normal curve. This leads us to the definitions of z-scores and standard deviations to represent how far along the normal curve a particular value is. We can calculate the likelihood of the value by finding the area under the normal curve to that point, usually by using a z-score cdf (cumulative density function) utility of a calculator or statistics software.
The total area of a normal probability distribution is?
The total area of any probability distribution is 1
What is the probability associated with the area to the right of the mean in a normal distribution?
50%
What does area have to do with probability?
A normalized probability distribution curve has an area under the curve of 1.Note: I said "normalized", not "normal". Do not confuse the terms.
Is in the normal distribution the total area beneath the curve represent the probability for all possible outcomes for a given event?
Yes. The total area under any probability distribution curve is always the probability of all possible outcomes - which is 1.
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.
How do you find the area of a normal distribution?
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.
What value of Z from the standard normal distribution table has an area to the left probability equal to 0.0764?
-1.43 (approx)
What value of Z from the standard normal distribution has an area probability to the right equal to 0.0643?
z = 1.52 (approx)
Are these true of normal probability distribution IIt is symmetric about the mean TTotal area under the normal distribution curve is equal to 1 DDistribution is totally described by two quantities?
Yes, it is true; and the 2 quantities that describe a normal distribution are mean and standard deviation.

What is the area under a discrete probability distribution function?
1.
What is the probability of P z-0.41 using the standard normal distribution?
See the related link for the area at 0.41 (same as -0.41) which is 0.1591. This area, which is the probability, is from minus infinity to -0.41. If you want the area from -0.41 to plus infinity you need to take 1 - 0.1591 which is 0.8409.
