1.
Find the percentage of the total area under the standard normal curve between the given z-scores.

a) Z=.64 and z =2.11
P(0.64<z<2.11)=P(z<2.11)-P(z<0.64)=0.9826-0.7389=0.2437=24.37%
b) Z= -1.63 and z = -1.08
P(-1.63<z<-1.08)=P(z<-1.08)-P(z<-1.63)=0.1401-0.0516=0.0885=8.85%
c) Z= - 2.91 and z = -.51
P(-2.91<z<-0.51)=P(z<-0.51)-P(z<-2.91)=0.3050-0.0018=0.3032=30.32%

2.
Find a z -score satisfying each of the given conditions
a) 1% of the total area is to the left Z
P value is 0.01, the corresponding z is -2.33.
b) 25% of the total area is to the right of Z
P value is 1-0.25=0.75, the corresponding z is 0.67
