Normal curve
The
curve is symmetric
about the mean.
Each half represents
50% of the total area.
The total area is 1.0000
Areas can be thought of
as probabilities.
Areas could be written
as percents.
Areas can not be
negative.
The
The
mean is 0.
standard
deviation is 1.

What
we need is a standardized
normal curve which can be used
for any normally distributed
variable. Such a curve is called
the Standard Normal Curve.

2. Find the z-score for an area of 0.2177 greater than the z-score.
Find the area to the left of the z-score:
1 - 0.2177 = 0.7823
The z-score for an area of 0.7823
is 0.78.
