What is the probability of a normal variable being lower than 5.2 standard deviations below its mean?
Do you need to know the mean and standard deviation?
2. What is the probability of a normal variable being within 1.2 standard deviations of its mean?
Do you need to know the mean and standard deviation?
1.
The probability of a normal variable being lower than 5.2 standard deviations below its mean =P(Z < -5.2) =0
(where Z =Standard Normal Variate with standardized value of mean is 0 and standardized value of standard deviation is 1).
We need not know the actual mean and standard deviation values.
2.
The probability of a normal variable being within 1.2 standard deviations of its mean =P(-1.2 Z 1.2) =0.7699
(where Z =Standard Normal Variate with standardized value of mean is 0 and standardized value of standard deviation is 1).
We need not know the actual mean and standard deviation values.
