LOS 10.l: Define the standard normal distribution,
          explain how to standardize a random variable, and                    Session Unit 3:
          calculate and interpret probabilities using the                      10. Common Probability Distributions (C/C/C)
          standard normal distribution.
                                                                   Calculating Probabilities Using z-Values


           Use the following data to answer Questions 16 through 18. A study of hedge fund investors found that their annual
           household incomes are normally distributed with a mean of $175,000 and a standard deviation of $25,000.








                                      C. z = (100 – 175) / 25 = –3, F(–3) = 1 – 0.9987 = 0.0013








                                      C. 1 – F(2), where F(2) equals 0.9772. Hence, 1 – 0.9772 = 0.0228.
