of Areas Under the
Normal Curve

OBJECTIVE
Identify the regions
of the area under the
normal curve.
How do we find the area
of the shaded region?
How do we find the area
of the shaded region?
How do we find the area
of the shaded region?
When we speak of a
region under the curve,
we are in fact interested
in the area of that region.
How do we identify
the regions under the
normal curve?
Identifying Regions
Under the Normal Curve
1. Sketch the normal
curve.
Identifying Regions
Under the Normal Curve
2. Draw a vertical line
through the specified z-
value and shade the
region.
Identify the region under
the standard normal curve
between the given z-values.
1
z = 0 and z = 1
1. z = 0 and z = 1
1. z = 0 and z = 1
1. z = 0 and z = 1
z=1 ______
1. z = 0 and z = 1
z=1 0.3413
This means that the region
between z=0 and z=1 has an
area of 0.3413.
1. z = 0 and z = 1
z=1
0.3413
1. z = 0 and z = 1
z=1 0.3413
This means that 34.13% of
the population have an IQ
score between 100 and 115.
A. True B. False
Identify the region under
the standard normal curve
between the given z-values.

z = 1 and z = 2
2. z = 1 and z = 2
2. z = 1 and z = 2
2. z = 1 and z = 2
2. z = 1 and z = 2
z=2
2. z = 1 and z = 2
P(1<z<2)=
z = 1.00 ________
z = 2.00 ________
z=2
2. z = 1 and z = 2
P(1<z<2)=
z = 1.00 𝟎. 𝟑𝟒𝟏𝟑
z = 2.00 𝟎. 𝟒𝟕𝟕𝟐
z=2
2. z = 1 and z = 2
P(1<z<2)=
z = 1.00 𝟎. 𝟑𝟒𝟏𝟑
z = 2.00 𝟎. 𝟒𝟕𝟕𝟐
z=2
z = -1 ______
above z = -1
z = -1 0.3413
above z = -1
z = -1 0.3413
P(z>-1) = 0.3413+_____
above z = -1
z = -1 0.3413
P(z>-1) = 0.3413+0.5000
= ______
above z = -1
z = -1 0.3413
P(z>-1) = 0.3413+0.5000
= 0.8413
Determine each of the
following areas and show
graphically. Use probability
notation in your final answer.
2 below z = 1.5
below z = 1.5
below z = 1.5
below z = 1.5
z = 1.5 ______
below z = 1.5
z = 1.5 0.4332
P(z<1.5) = 0.4332+_______
below z = 1.5
z = 1.5 0.4332
P(z<1.5) = 0.5000+0.4332
= _______
below z = 1.5
z = 1.5 0.4332
P(z<1.5) = 0.5000+0.4332
= 0.9332
Determine each of the
following areas and show
graphically. Use probability
notation in your final answer.
3 between z = 0.98
and z = 2.58
between z = 0.98 and z = 2.58
between z = 0.98 and z = 2.58
between z = 0.98 and z = 2.58
z = 0.98 0.3365
z = 2.58 0.4951
P(0.98<z<2.58) = 0.4951-0.3365
= 0.1586
SYNTHESIS
How do we find
probabilities for the
standard normal random
variable z?
REFLECTION
Probability has something
to do with a chance. It is
the study of things that
might happen or might not.
REFLECTION
Probability trains you to make
decisions in situations which
there are observable
patterns, but a degree of
uncertainty. Does that sound
like your life?
