Let z1 be the smaller z value and z2 be the larger value. Let N(z) be the cumulative normal distribution evaluated at some value z. The random variable is Z.

The probability that Z has a value from minus infinity to z2 is equal to N(z2). You can show this by drawing a bell shape curve, and shading in everything to the left of z2 as equal to the area under curve.

Similarly, the probability that Z has a value from minus infinity to z1 is N(z1).

The area under the bell curve (standard normal cumulative distribution) is N(z1) - N(z2). I can show this with a little example:

z1= -1 z2 = 2 Area = N(2) - N(-1) = 0.9773 - 0.1587 = 0.8186. I used Excel with the normsdist(z) function. The mean is zero and standard deviation is one with this function.

What is the area under the normal curve between z scores of 1.82 and 2.09?

To find the area under the normal curve between z scores of 1.82 and 2.09, you can use the standard normal distribution table or a calculator. The area corresponding to a z score of 1.82 is approximately 0.9656, and for 2.09, it is about 0.9817. Subtracting these values gives the area between the two z scores: 0.9817 - 0.9656 = 0.0161. Thus, the area under the curve between z scores of 1.82 and 2.09 is approximately 0.0161, or 1.61%.


Find the area under the standard normal curve between -1.33 and the mean P(-1.33?

To find the area under the standard normal curve between -1.33 and the mean (0), we can use the standard normal distribution table or a calculator. The area to the left of -1.33 is approximately 0.0918. Since the total area under the curve is 1 and the curve is symmetrical around the mean, the area between -1.33 and 0 is about 0.5 - 0.0918 = 0.4082. Thus, the area under the curve from -1.33 to the mean is approximately 0.4082.


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 explanation for the area under the curve?

In statistics you can find the area under a curve to establish what to expect between two input numbers. If there is a lot of area under the curve the graph is tall and there is a higher probability of things occurring there than when the graph is low.
