 What I Need to Know

This module was designed to easily understand how to identify regions under the
normal curve corresponding to different standard normal values. It includes the
steps/procedures on how to use the table of areas under the normal curve. Also, this
module will help you to accomplish the succeeding modules about normal
distributions and to solve real-life situations in predicting the probabilities,
percentage, and proportions of every random variable in a normal distribution.

In the previous module, you learned the characteristics of a normal curve. These
characteristics will be your guide to accurately identify the regions or areas under
the normal curve corresponding to different standard normal scores. You can also
use your mastery in performing addition and subtraction of decimals to solve the
problems.

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. identify the regions under the normal curve of different standard normal
values;
2. use the z-table (Table of Areas under the Normal Curve) to find the
regions that correspond to z values; and
3. sketch the normal curve showing the required regions or areas.

Standard Normal Values

In your previous lessons in Mathematics, you have learned how to solve for
the area of certain geometric figures or shapes. This time, you are going to identify
the areas or regions of a curve without using a formula or even a density function of
standard normal random variables because the z – table or Table of Areas under the
Normal Curve is already given on the last page of this module.

What’s In

Let’s have this first for a review.

A. Perform the indicated operation manually. Then check your answer using a
calculator or any calculating device. Write your answer on a separate sheet of
paper.
1. What is the difference between 0.9983 and 0.4531?

2. What is the value when 1 is subtracted by 0.3413?

3. What is the result of 0.0033 subtracted to 0.4772?

4. What is the value of 0.5 minus 0.1537?

5. By how much 1 is greater than to 0.2318?

6. What is the value when 0.8413 is added by 0.1313?

7. What is the value when 0.0017 is added to 0.056?

8. What is 0.5 increased by 0.5000?

9. What have you obtained if you add 0.4490 to 0.352?

10. What is the sum of 0.1001 and 0.0009?

the table. Identify the number that lies on the intersection between the given set

2. 1.0 and 0.07 = _________
3. 1.1 and 0.06 = _________

Module 11
B. Perform the indicated operation. Write your answer inside each box connected
to the shaded region of the following normal curve.

7 CO_Q3_Statistics and Probability SHS

Module 11
 What is It

In the previous module, we discussed the properties of the normal probability

distribution, and one of the things that you have learned is that the total area under
the curve is equal to one. Since the standard normal distribution is defined as
normally distributed random variable having a mean of zero ( µ= 0 ) and standard
deviation of one (ơ = 1), the fifty (50) percent of the region under the curve is below
the mean and the other 50% is above the mean, as shown in the illustration below
at Figure 1.

Figure 1: Standard Normal Curve

You can easily identify the area of the regions under the normal curve by using the
Table of Areas under the Normal Curve which is also known as z-Table (see
attachment at the last page of this module). This table gives the area of any value of z
from -3.99 to 3.99. The value from this table will describe the area of the specific
region of the curve to the left of the given z value.

How to use the Table of Areas under the Normal Curve?

Example: Find the area to the left of -1.69
Solution: First, split the given z-value into hundredths. We can find the whole
number and the tenths digit (-1.6) at the left side of the table while the hundredths
(0.09) are located at the uppermost of the table. Then the intersection of these
numbers will be the area of the normal curve to the left of the z-value.

Illustration:

Answer: The area to the left of z= -1.69 is 0.0455.

8 CO_Q3_Statistics and Probability SHS

Module 11
STEPS IN FINDING THE AREA THAT CORRESPONDS TO Z –VALUE
1. Draw/sketch a normal curve and locate the given z-value on the normal curve
2. Shade the region of the curve according to the condition of z-value whether it
is below, above, or between.
3. Use the table of the area under the normal curve to find the corresponding
area.
4. Choose the appropriate operation based on steps 2 and 3
4.1. When the z-value is to the left or any related terms (e.g. below, less
than) just write the value we obtained in step 3
4.2. When the z-value is to the right or any related terms (e.g. above, greater
than), subtract 1 by the obtained value in step 3
4.3. When the shaded region is in between of the two z-value, subtract the
biggest by the smallest value obtained in step 3
5. Label the shaded region and draw a conclusion

Example 1: Find the area that corresponds below z = -1.35

Solution:

Step 1. Draw/sketch a normal curve and locate the given z-value.

9 CO_Q3_Statistics and Probability SHS

Module 11
Step 2. Shade the region of the curve according to the condition of z-value
whether it is below, above, or between.

Step 3. Use the table of the area under the normal curve to find the
corresponding area

The intersection between -1.3 and 0.05 is 0.0885

Step 4. Choose the appropriate operation based on steps 2 and 3

4.1 When the z value is to the left or any related terms (e.g. below,
less than) just write the value we obtained in step 3
Since the shaded region of the curve is to the left of the z= -1.35
and the intersection between -1.3 and 0.05 is 0.0885. Therefore,
the area of the shaded region is 0.0885

10 CO_Q3_Statistics and Probability SHS

Module 11
 Step 5. Label the shaded region and draw a conclusion.

Therefore, the area that corresponds below z = -1.35 is 0.0885.

Example 2: Find the area to the right of z = -1.35

Step 1:

Step 2:

Step 3. The intersection between -1.3 and 0.05 is 0.0885

Step 4. Since the shaded region is to the right of z value, we will subtract
0.0885 from 1. The difference is 0.9915

11 CO_Q3_Statistics and Probability SHS

Module 11
 Step 5

Therefore, the area to the right of z = -1.35 is 0.9915.

Example 3: Find the area between z = -1.30 and z = 2

Step 1:

Step 2:

Step 3. The value that corresponds to z= 1.3 is 0.0968 and z= 2 is 0.4772.

Step 4. Since the shaded region is within the two z-value, subtract 0.4772
by 0.0968. The difference is 0.8804

12 CO_Q3_Statistics and Probability SHS

Module 11
 Step 5 Therefore, the area between z = -1.30 and z = 2 is 0.8804.
