Example 2:
Find the value of each of the following probabilities by reading the standard normal distribution tables.
(a) P (0.4 < Z < 1.2)
(b) P (–1 < Z < 2.5)
(c) P (–1.3 < Z < –0.5)
Solution:
(a)
P (0.4 < Z < 1.2)
= Area P – Area Q
= Q (0.4) – Q (1.2) ← (reading from the standard normal distribution table for 0.4 and 1.2 are 0.3446 and 0.1151 respectively)
= 0.3446 – 0.1151
= 0.2295
(b)
P (–1 < Z < 2.5)
= 1– Area P – Area Q
= 1 – Q (1) – Q (2.5)
= 1 – 0.1587 – 0.00621 ← (reading from the standard normal distribution table for 1 and 2.5 are 0.1587 and 0.00621 respectively)
= 0.8351
(c)
P (–1.3 < Z < –0.5)
= Area P – Area Q
= Q (0.5) – Q (1.3)
= 0.3085 – 0.0968 ← (reading from the standard normal distribution table for 0.5 and 1.3 are 0.3085 and 0.0968 respectively)

8.2c Probability of an Event
Example:
The masses of pears in a fruit stall are normally distributed with a mean of 220 g and a variance of 100 g. Find the probability that a pear that is picked at random has a mass
(a) of more than 230 g.
(b) between 210 g and 225 g.
Hence, find the value of h such that 90% of the pears weigh more than h g.
Solution:
µ = 220 g
σ = √100 = 10 g
Let X be the mass of a pear.
(a)
(b)
For 90% (probability = 0.9) of the pears weigh more than h g,
P (X > h) = 0.9
P (X < h) = 1 – 0.9
= 0.1
From the standard normal distribution table,
P (Z > 0.4602) = 0.1
P (Z < –0.4602) = 0.1

*When reading the standard normal distribution tables, it involves subtraction of values.
*When reading the standard normal distribution tables, it involves subtraction of values.
(a)
From the standard normal distribution table, P (Z > 0.600) = 0.2743
P (Z < –1.24)
= P (Z > 1.24)
= Q (1.24)
= 0.1075 ← (reading from the standard normal distribution table)
(*In the standard normal distribution table, all the values of z are positive. As the curve is symmetrical about the vertical axis, the area of the shaded region in both of the graphs are the same.)

(c)
P (Z > –1.1)

Solution:
Find the area of the shaded region.
Solution:
Example 2
Find the area of the shaded region.
Solution:
y = x -----(1)
x = 8y – y2-----(2)
Substitute (1) into (2),
y = 8y – y2
y2 – 7y = 0
y (y – 7) = 0
y = 0 or 7
From (1), x = 0 or 7
Therefore the intersection points of the curve and the straight line is (0, 0) and (7, 7).
Intersection point of the curve and y-axis is,
x = 8y – y2
At y-axis, x = 0
0 = 8y – y2
y (y – 8) = 0
y = 0, 8
Area of shaded region = (A1) Area of triangle + (A2) Area under the curve from y = 7 to y = 8.
