Example
Finding the Area to the Right of a Specified z-ScoreDetermine the area under the standard normal curve that liesto the right of z = 0.76Solution:P(Z > 0.76) = 1− P(Z < 0.76) = 1− 0.7764 = 0.2236

Example
Finding the Area between Two Specified z-ScoresDetermine the area under the standard normal curve that liesbetween z = −0.68 and z = 1.82Solution:
P(−0.68 < Z < 1.82) =P(Z < 1.82)− P(Z < −0.68)
=0.9656− 0.2483
=0.7173

Finding zαDetermine z0.025 and z0.05
Solution:1− 0.025 = 0.9750P(Z > z0.025) = 0.9750⇒ z0.025 = 1.961− 0.05 = 0.9500P(Z > z0.05) = 0.9500⇒ z0.05 = 1.645

Example
Intelligence quotients (IQs) measured on the Stanford Revisionof the Binet-Simon Intelligence Scale are normally distributedwith a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 16. Determinethe percentage of people who have IQs between 115 and 140.Solution:µ = 100 and σ = 16by using the transformation rulez = x−µ
σ
for x = 115 we have z = 115−10016
= 0.94for x = 140 we have z = 140−100
16= 2.50
Dr. Raziuddin Siddiqui Quantitative Methods for Decision Making
Inferential Statistics for Decision Making
Example(Cont’d)
Solution:
P(115 < X < 140) =P(0.96 < Z < 0.2.50)
=P(Z < 2.50)− P(Z < 0.94)
=0.9938− 0.8264
=0.174
Interpretation: 16.74% of all people have IQs between 115and 140. Equivalently, the probability is 0.1674 that arandomly selected person will have an IQ between 115 and140.

The 68.26-95.44-99.74 RuleAny normally distributed variable has the following properties.
68.26% of all possible observations lie within onestandard deviation to either side of the mean, that is,between µ− σ and µ + σ.
95.44% of all possible observations lie within twostandard deviations to either side of the mean, that is,between µ− 2σ and µ + 2σ.
99.74% of all possible observations lie within threestandard deviations to either side of the mean, that is,between µ− 3σ and µ + 3σ.

Confidence interval for one population mean
Definition
Confidence interval (CI): An interval of numbersobtained from a point estimate of a parameter.
Confidence level: The confidence we have that theparameter lies in the confidence interval (i.e., that theconfidence interval contains the parameter).
Confidence-interval estimate: The confidence leveland confidence interval.

Procedure(Cont’d)
1: For a confidence level of 1− α, use Table to find zα/2
2. The confidence interval for µ is from
x̄ − zα/2 ·σ√n
to x̄ + zα/2 ·σ√n
where zα/2 is found in step 1, n is the sample size, and x̄is computed from the sample data.
3. Interpret the confidence interval.

Key Fact
When to Use the One-Mean z-Interval Procedure
For small samples-say, of size less than 15–the z-intervalprocedure should be used only when the variable underconsideration is normally distributed or very close to beingso.
For samples of moderate size–say, between 15 and 30–thez-interval procedure can be used unless the data containoutliers or the variable under consideration is far frombeing normally distributed.

Key Fact(Cont’d)
For large samples–say, of size 30 or more–the z-intervalprocedure can be used essentially without restriction.However, if outliers are present and their removal is notjustified, you should compare the confidence intervalsobtained with and without the outliers to see what effectthe outliers have. If the effect is substantial, use adifferent procedure or take another sample, if possible.
If outliers are present but their removal is justified andresults in a data set for which the z-interval procedure isappropriate (as previously stated), the procedure can beused.

Key Fact
A Fundamental Principle of Data AnalysisBefore performing a statistical-inference procedure, examinethe sample data. If any of the conditions required for using theprocedure appear to be violated, do not apply the procedure.Instead use a different, more appropriate procedure, if oneexists.
