3. The tails of a normal curve extends indefinitely but does not _____________ the base
line.
4. The three measures of central tendency _________, __________, and ________ are
equal in a normal distribution.
5. The symbol used to represent sample mean is _________.
6. The symbol used to represent the raw score is ________.
7. The symbol µ represents _______________.

9. The corresponding area between z= 0 and z= 0.96 is _____________.
10. When µ = 55 and σ = 2.5 and x = 70, z is _______________

C. Solve the following problems. Show your solution!

Find the area using the z-table and illustrate it using the normal curve graph (15 points)
1. Find the corresponding area between z = -3 and each of the following:
a. z = 0.96

b. z = 2.74

c. z = -1.67

Find the value of z and locate the position of X in the normal curve graph (15 points)
2. Given µ = 62 and σ = 8, find the z-score value of each raw score below. Round off your
answer up to two decimal place.
