Use the table of standard normal probabilities (z table) to answer the following questions. Please explain how you calculate.

  1. What is P(z >2.5)?
  2. What is P(-0.8 < z < 1.5)?
  3. What is P(0.65< z < 1.36)?  
  4. What z-value leaves 80 % of the normal distribution to its right?
  5. What z-value, and its negative, leaves 10 % of the normal distribution in each tail (a total of 20% of the distribution in both tails combined)?
