Assuming a random variable, x, has a normal distribution with ? = 5 and ? = 0.5, find the value of "a" for: a) P(0<x<a) = 0.1772, b) P(a<x) = 0.1539, c) P(-a<x<a) = 0.8444.

Step 1
5} = -10\] Using the normal probability table, we find that \(P(Z < -10) = 0\). Therefore, \(a = 0 + 0.5 \times -10 = 0 + (-5) = -5\). Show more…

Assume $X$ is normally distributed with a mean of 5 and a standard deviation of 4 . Determine the value for $x$ that solves each of the following: (a) $P(X>x)=0.5$ (b) $P(X>x)=0.95$ (c) $P(x<X<9)=0.2$ (d) $P(3<X<x)=0.95$ (e) $P(-x<X-5<x)=0.99$
