The z-scores that bound the middle 44 % under the standard normal curve are z = -a and z = a. Find the value of a.
Solution :
Using standard normal table ,
P(-a Z a) = 0.44
P(Z a) - P(Z -a) = 0.44
2P(Z a) - 1 = 0.44
2P(Z a) = 1 + 0.44 = 1.44
P(Z a) = 1.44 / 2 = 0.72
P(Z 0.58) = 0.72
z = 0.58
z-score = 0.58
