 LESSON 1: Illustrating and Identifying Regions
Under the Normal Curve

What’s In

A continuous random variable X is normally distributed with a mean of 18.2

and a standard deviation of 2.1. Find the following probabilities using the figure
below.

Find: 1. P(X > 18.2)

2. P(16.1 < X < 20.3)
3. P(X > 20.3)

What’s New
In the previous lessons, you have learned about the standard distribution
table. In this lesson, you will be dealing with the areas under the normal curve and
what does its shaded regions wants to show and the properties underlying it. What
do you think a normal curve wants to show if its shaded region is on the left side of
0? How about the right side of 0? What will it imply if the shaded region covers a
part of the left side of the 0 up to its right side or vice-versa? You will also be dealing
with normal random variables and how to illustrate them.

`
What is It

DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE

 The illustration that you see above is an example of a normal distribution
curve with an approximate area of 68.3% for the standard deviation Z= -1 and Z= 1,
while the area within Z= -2 and Z= 2 has approximately 95.4% and for the area within
Z= -3 and Z= 3 has 99.9%.
The random variable X that you will see in the next lesson can be shown in a
normal equation that is called the normal random variable. It can be computed if the
mean, standard deviation, and probability are given.
From this, you can make a statement that the probabilities of having a
random variable Z between -1 and 1 is 0.683, 0.954 between -2 and 2 then 0.997
probability between 03 and 3. In probability notation, you can write these as:
P(-1 < Z < 1) = 0.683
P(-2 < Z < 2) = 0.954
P(-3 < Z < 3) = 0.997
On this point, let us enumerate the properties of a normal distribution.
• The total area under the standard normal curve is equal to 1.
• The standard normal distribution is symmetrical to the mean (𝜇 = 0).
• The area to the right and left of the mean is 0.5 (𝜇 = 0).
• The mean, the median and the mode are equal and located at the axis of
symmetry.
• The horizontal line is asymptotic to the tails of a standard normal curve.
• At least three standard scores each to the left and to the right of the mean
on the standard normal curve may be used before the tails appear to touch
the horizontal line on both ends.
• The distance from one standard score to the next standard score is equal
to 1 along the horizontal line.
• The area of the shaded region under the standard normal curve between
two points a and b is equal to the probability that the standard random
variable Z will fall into an interval a to b.
Now let us try identifying the region being described. Find the area and shade
the region in a normal curve. (See table at the end of this module.)
1. P(0 < Z < 1.25)
2. P(-2.43 < Z < 1.25)
3. P(Z < 1.25)
4. P(Z < -2.43)
5. P(1.25 < Z < 2.43)
Answers:
1. P(0 < Z < 1.25) = area under the normal curve between Z= 0 and Z= 1.25
= A (Z= 1.25)
= 0.3944
(Note: The value from the whole number up to the tenths place of the Z score will be
looked at the vertical column and the value of the hundredths place of the Z score

DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE

will be looked at the horizontal part of the
table. The intersection of the two values is
the area under the normal curve
corresponding to the standard normal value
Z= 1.25. The result is 0.3944.)

2. P(-2.43 < Z < 1.25) = area under the normal curve between Z= -2.43 and
Z= 1.25
= A (Z= -2.43) + A (Z= 1.25)
= 0.4925 + 0.3944
= 0.8869

3. P(Z < 1.25) = area under the normal curve to the left of Z= 1.25
= 0.5 + A (Z= 1.25)
= 0.5 + 0.3944
= 0.5944

4. P(Z < -2.43) = area under the normal curve to the left of Z= -2.43
= 0.5 - A (Z= -2.43)
= 0.5 - 0.4925
= 0.0075

5. P(1.25 < Z < 2.43)= area under the normal curve between Z= 1.25 and Z= 2.43
= A (Z= 2.43) - A (Z= 1.25)
= 0.4925 - 0.3944
= 0.0981

 LESSON 2: CONVERTING A NORMAL RANDOM
VARIABLE TO A STANDARD NORMAL VARIABLE
AND VICE-VERSA

What’s In
When do we use the symbol  for the mean and  for the standard deviation?

What’s New

The average score in a Math test is 80 with a standard deviation of 10. What
is the standard score of Cardi and Rita whose grades are 97 and 86 respectively?

What is It

Using a formula, you can convert raw scores to standard scores and a normal
random variable X is in its standardized form if its value is expressed as the number
of standard deviations that can be found either to the left or to the right of its mean.
Also, the normal random variable X can be standardized by getting the difference
between the value of X and population mean and dividing the result by the
population standard deviation.

Below is the formula to convert raw scores to standard scores:

𝑋−𝜇
𝑍=
𝜎
where: 𝑍 is the standard score
𝜇 is the population mean
𝑋 is the raw score
𝜎 is the population standard deviation

By using this formula, you can identify the comparison of a normal variable
𝑋 and a standard normal variable 𝑍.

DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE

 To solve the problem above regarding the standard scores for Cardo and
Rita, we will have:

Cardo Rita
𝑋−𝜇 𝑋−𝜇
𝑍= 𝑍=
𝜎 𝜎

97 − 80 86 − 80
𝑍= 𝑍=
10 10
𝑍 = 1.7 𝑍 = 0.6

Therefore standard scores of Cardo and Rita are 1.7 and 0.6 respectively.

Let us have an example where in the random variable X is normally

distributed with a mean of 40 and standard deviation of 3. Find the values of the
random variable X and Z given the areas of the intervals under the standardized
normal curve.

1. between 0 and Z is 0.3944

2. between 0 and Z is 0.2967
3. to the left of Z is 0.0207
4. to the right of Z is 0.0485
5. to the right of Z is 0.9292
6. to the left of Z is 0.9861

Answers:
1. between 0 and Z is 0.3944
The area from 0 to Z is 0.3944, therefore, if you are going to look for this at
the standard normal distribution table, you will have either Z = +1.25 or Z=
-1.25. To illustrate this you will have:

𝑋−𝜇 𝑋−𝜇
𝑍= 𝑍=
𝜎 𝜎
𝑋 − 40 𝑋 − 40
1.25 = − 1.25 =
3 3
𝑋 = 43.75 𝑋 = 36.35

10

DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE

 Therefore the value of the random variable X is 43.75 or 36.35

2. between 0 and Z is 0.2967

The area from 0 to Z is 0.2967, therefore, if you are going to look for this at
the standard normal distribution table, you will have either Z = +0.83 or
Z= -0.83. To illustrate this you will have:

𝑋−𝜇 𝑋−𝜇
𝑍= 𝑍=
𝜎 𝜎

𝑋 − 40 𝑋 − 40
0.83 = − 0.83 =
3 3
𝑋 = 42.49 𝑋 = 37.51
Therefore the value of the random variable X is 42.49 or 37.51.

3. to the left of Z is 0.0207

The area from 0 to Z is 0.0207. Since this area is less than 0.5, you can state
that the value of Z is negative. To get its value, find the area from 0 to Z by
subtracting 0.0207 from 0.5. The answer will give you an area of 0.4793 which is
equivalent to 2.04 from the standard normal distribution table and since Z is located
at the left side of 0, Z = -2.04.

𝑋−𝜇
𝑍=
𝜎
𝑋 − 40
−2.04 =

𝑋 = 33.88
Therefore the value of the random variable X is 33.88.

4. to the right of Z is 0.0485

11

DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE

 The area from 0 to Z is 0.00485. Since the area is less than 0.5 but located at
the right of Z, you can state that Z is positive. To get its value, find the area from 0
to Z by subtracting 0.0485 from 0.5. The answer will give you an area of 0.4515
which is equivalent to 1.66 from the standard normal distribution table. Therefore,
Z = 1.66

𝑋−𝜇
𝑍=
𝜎
𝑋 − 40
1.66 =
3
𝑋 = 44.98
Therefore the value of the random variable X is 44.98.

5. to the right of Z is 0.9292

The area from 0 to Z is 0.9292. Since the area is greater than 0.5 but located
at the right of Z, you can state that Z is negative since the boundary of area will cover
the left part of 0. To get its value, find the area from 0 to Z by subtracting 0.5 from
0.9292. The answer will give you an area of 0.4292 which is equivalent to 1.47 from
the standard normal distribution table. Therefore, Z = -1.47

𝑋−𝜇
𝑍=
𝜎
𝑋 − 40
−1.47 =
3
𝑋 = 35.59
Therefore the value of the random variable X is 35.59.

6. to the left of Z is 0.9861

The area from 0 to Z is 0.9861. Since the area is greater than 0.5 but located
at the left of Z, you can state that Z is positive since the boundary of the area will
end at the right part of 0. To get its value, find the area from 0 to Z by subtracting

12

DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE

0.5 from 0.9861. The answer will give you an area of 0.4861 which is equivalent to
1.47 from the standard normal distribution table. Therefore, Z = 2.20

𝑋−𝜇
𝑍=
𝜎
𝑋 − 40
2.20 =
3
𝑋 = 46.60

Therefore the value of the random variable X is 46.60.

following.
1. between Z = 0 and Z = 2.23 2. between Z = -2.66 and Z = -0.42

 LESSON 3: COMPUTING PROBABILITIES AND
PERCENTILES USING THE STANDARD NORMAL TABLE

What’s In
Find the raw score of a standard score of 2.52 that is normally distributed with
a mean of 42 and a standard deviation of 3.

What’s New
A local bank located at the heart of a busy city wants to improve their service
to their customers during lunch break. They have observed the flow of traffic inside
the bank and the data observed are as follows:
i. The customers spent an average time of 15.2 minutes.
ii. The computed standard deviation of time spent by the customer is
1.5 minutes.

How will you illustrate the given problem? If the time is normally distributed,
what is the probability that a customer chosen at random will consume a time more
than 15 minutes?

What is It

In answering the problem given above, you need to recall your knowledge
about standard score and the use of standard normal distribution.

To answer this, you need to convert 15 minutes to a standard score.

𝑋 − 𝜇 15 − 15.2
𝑍= = = −0.13̅
𝜎 1.5
To find the probability we will use the table for the standard normal
distribution. (See table at the end of this module.)

17

DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE

 To use the table, the computed standard normal value Z is rounded off to
the nearest hundredths. The value from the whole number up to the tenths place of
the Z score will be looked at the vertical column and the value of the hundredths
place of the Z score will be looked at the horizontal part of the table. The intersection
of the two values is the area under the normal curve corresponding to the standard
normal value Z= -0.13. The result is 0.0517. To illustrate this area you will have:

P(Z > -0.13) = 0.0517 + 0.5 = 0.5517

Therefore, 0.5517 is the probability that a bank customer will finish his
transaction in more than 15 minutes.

For you to find the probability that a continuous random variable X lies on
the interval from a to b, you need to do the following steps:

• convert the value of the continuous random variable X to its

standardized random variable Z
• use the standard normal distribution table
