Transcript text: $Z$ is a standard normal random variable. The $\mathrm{P}(z>2.11)$ equals
A. 0.0211
B. 0.0174
C. 0.4821
D. 0.9826
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Understanding the Problem
We need to find the probability P(Z>2.11) where Z is a standard normal random variable. This can be expressed in terms of the cumulative distribution function Φ of the standard normal distribution.
Step 2: Expressing the Probability
The probability can be rewritten using the cumulative distribution function as follows:
P(Z>2.11)=1−P(Z≤2.11)=1−Φ(2.11)
Since Φ(∞)=1, we can express this as:
P(Z>2.11)=Φ(∞)−Φ(2.11)
Step 3: Calculating the Cumulative Probability
From the output, we have:
P(Z>2.11)=Φ(∞)−Φ(2.11)=0−0.9826=0.0174
