 Find z-scores when
probabilities
are given.
 Locate percentiles under
A percentile (or a centile) is a point in the
distribution such that a given number of
cases is
below it.
A percentile is a measure of relative
standing. It is a descriptive measure of
the relationship of a measurement to the
rest of the data.
There are three important things to
remember when we are given proba-
bilities and we want to know their corre-
sponding
z-scores.
1.A probability value corresponds to
an area under the normal curve.
2. In the Table of Areas Under the
Normal
Curve, the numbers in the extreme
left and
across the top are z-scores, which are
the
distances along the horizontal scale.
The
numbers in the body of the table are
Example 1: Find the 95th percentile
of a
normal curve.
By definition of , this means locat-
ing an area before (or below) the
point.
Steps Solution
1.Express the given per- 95% is same as 0.9500.
centage
as probability.
2. Split 0.9500 to 0.5000 0.9500 = 0.5000 + 0.4500
and
0.4500.
3. Refer to the z-table. Lo- If it cannot be found in the table,
cate get the area value nearest to it.
the area 0.4500 on the It is
leftmost between the values of 0.4495
column. and 0.4505.
4. Find the z-value that 0.4505 z = 1.65
5. Find the average of two
z-values.
6. Locate z = 1.645 under The 95th percentile is z =
the 1.645.
curve and make a state-
ment.
7. Draw a line through z =
1.645
and shade the region to
the left of z = 1.645. z= 1.65
Example 2. Find the upper 10% of the normal
curve.
Steps Solution
1.Express the given per- 10% is same as 0.1000.
centage as probability.
2. With respect to the This is located to the right of

3. Using the upper side of 0.5000 – 0.1000 = 0.4000
the
mean, find the remaining
area.
4. Refer to the z-table. Lo- If it cannot be found in the ta-
5. Find the z-value that corre- 0.3997 z = 1.28

to 0.3997.
6. Locate z = 1.28 under the The upper 10% is above z =

7. Draw a line through z =
1.28 and

8. Describe the shaded region. The shaded region is the up-


1. Find the upper 32% of
the normal curve.

of a normal curve ().
