Reference no: EM13102320

A continuous random variable, x, is normally distributed with a mean of $1000 and a standard deviation of $100. Convert each of the following x values into its corresponding z-score.

a. x = $1000

b. x = $750

c. x = $1100

d. x = $950

e. x = $1225

2.Using the standard normal table, find the following probabilities associated with z:

a. P(0.00 , z , 1.25)

b. P(-1.25 < X < 0.00)

c. P(-1.25 < x < 1.25)
