• Theorem 3.14
• Example 3.15
– Suppose your score on a test is x = 46, a sample value of the
Gaussian (61,10) random variable. Express your test score as a
sample value of the standard normal random variable, 2.
• Solution:
• Example 3.16
– If X is the Gaussian (61,10) random variable, what is P[X <=46]?
– This suggests that if your test score is 1.5 standard deviations below the
expected value, you are in the lowest 6.7% of the population of test
takers.

– If X is a Gaussian random variable with μ = 61 and ρ = 10,what is P[51 < X <= 71]
