On the Subject of Normal Probability
Normal. Probably.
For three stages, calculate the probability of the event on the top display, and enter it into the module.
Each event is an inequality involving a variable 𝐙. 𝐙 is a random variable (with a Normal frequency density, mean 0 and variance 1). The function tabulated on the next page is 𝚽(𝐳), which is the probability that 𝐙 < 𝐳.
Using the Table
If 𝐳 has one or two decimal places:
𝚽(𝐳) = the intersection between the ones / tenths and hundredths digits, on the left side of the table. Ignore the (ADD) column.
If 𝐳 has three decimal places:
Find the intersection between the ones / tenths and hundredths digits, on the left side of the table.
Also find the intersection between the ones / tenths and thousandths digits in the (ADD) column, and multiply it by 0.0001.
𝚽(𝐳) = the sum of these two numbers.
Some events in later stages may have greater-than signs, or negative values of 𝐳, etc. Some mathematical manipulation is required for these events.
Do not use a calculator for this module. Answers given by the table may be slightly different to those found with a calculator, and the module will only accept the former.
