Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Z-scores

The problem requires us to find the probability for the range \(-0.9 < Z < 1.5\). The Z-scores are \(-0.9\) and \(1.5\).

Step 2: Use the Standard Normal Distribution Table

Look up the cumulative probabilities for the Z-scores in the standard normal distribution table:

  • For \(Z = -0.9\), the cumulative probability is approximately \(0.1841\).
  • For \(Z = 1.5\), the cumulative probability is approximately \(0.9332\).
Step 3: Calculate the Probability

To find the probability that \(Z\) is between \(-0.9\) and \(1.5\), subtract the cumulative probability at \(-0.9\) from the cumulative probability at \(1.5\): \[ P(-0.9 < Z < 1.5) = P(Z < 1.5) - P(Z < -0.9) \] \[ P(-0.9 < Z < 1.5) = 0.9332 - 0.1841 \] \[ P(-0.9 < Z < 1.5) = 0.7491 \]

Final Answer

\[ P(-0.9 < Z < 1.5) = 0.749 \]
