I. Standard Normal Distribution
I.1. Determine the area/probability that x lies in a given interval , converting to a z scale
then compute the probability using the standard normal distribution table.
Draw the illustration.
1. Determine the area under the standard normal distribution curve between
z= −0.75 and z= −1.85 (10 points)
2. Find the area under the standard normal distribution curve to the left of z =
−1.85 (10 points)
3. Determine the area under the standard normal distribution curve between
z = 0.75 and z = 1.85 (10 points)
4. Find the area under the standard normal distribution curve to the right of z = 1.15
(10 points)

I.2. Application of z-scores and areas under the normal curve. Draw the illustration of a
normal curve.
1. A company produces different types of energy drink. The filling machines are
adjusted to pour 500 milliliters (ml) of energy drinks into each plastic bottle.
Nonetheless, the actual amount of energy drink poured into each bottles is not
exactly 500 ml; it varies from bottle to bottle. It has been observed that the
amount of energy drink in a bottle is normally distributed with a mean of 500 ml
and a standard deviation of 4.75 ml. what percentage of the energy drink bottles
contains 505 to 513 milliliters? (15 points)
2. The average age of bank managers is 40 years. Assume that the variable is
normally distributed. If the standard deviation is 5 years, find the probability that
the age of a randomly selected bank manager will be in the range between 35
and 46 years old. (15 points)
3. The average Pag-ibig salary loan for RFS Pharmacy Inc. employees is ₱23,000. If
the debt is normally distributed with a standard deviation of ₱2,500, find the
probability that the employee owes less than ₱18,500. (15 points)
