Using the Normal Distribution, Calculate P(X < 8)
Z = | X - μ |
σ/√5 |
Z = | 8 - 8.1 |
0.1/√5 |
Z = | -0.1 |
0.1/2.2360679774998 |
Z = | -0.1 |
0.044721359549996 |
Z = -2.236
From the table below, we see that our Z value is = 0.487455
The z-table probability runs from 0 to z and -z to 0, so we lookup our value
From the table below, we find our value of 0.487455
Since that represents ½ of the graph, we subtract our value from 0.5 → 0.5 - 0.487455
P(x<-2.236) = 0.012545

How does the Normal Distribution Calculator work?
Free Normal Distribution Calculator - Calculates the probability that a random variable is less than or greater than a value or between 2 values using the Normal Distribution z-score (z value) method (Central Limit Theorem).
Also calculates the Range of values for the 68-95-99.7 rule, or three-sigma rule, or empirical rule. Calculates z score probability
