Find endpoint(s) on a $N(0,1)$ density with the given property.
$\mathbf{P . 1 4 0}($ a) The area to the right of the endpoint is about 0.02 .
(b) The area to the left of the endpoint is about 0.40 .

Key Concepts

Standard Normal Distribution

The standard normal distribution is a special case of the normal distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. It is symmetric about the mean, and its probability density function describes the familiar 'bell curve' shape. This distribution is fundamental in probability and statistics, particularly due to its role in the Central Limit Theorem and as a basis for many statistical methods.

Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF)

The cumulative distribution function (CDF) of a random variable gives the probability that the variable will take a value less than or equal to a specific number. For the standard normal distribution, the CDF is used to find the probability associated with intervals or to determine the area under the curve to the left of any given point.

Inverse Cumulative Distribution Function (Quantile Function)

The inverse cumulative distribution function, also known as the quantile function, is the function that maps a probability to the corresponding value of the random variable. In the context of the standard normal distribution, it is used to determine critical values or endpoints such that a given proportion of the distribution's probability lies to one side of the value.

Quantiles and Percentiles

Quantiles, including percentiles, divide the range of a probability distribution into intervals with equal probabilities. They are key in identifying points on the distribution that correspond to a specific cumulative area, such as determining critical thresholds in hypothesis testing or statistical analyses. In this context, quantiles are used to specify endpoints with given tail areas or cumulative probabilities.
