THE GRAPH OF THE NORMAL DISTRIBUTION MAY DEPEND ON:

Small value of standard deviation

yields a skinnier and taller normal
curve.

Large value of standard deviation

makes the normal curve short
and wide.

FOUR STEPS FINDING THE AREA UNDER
NORMAL CURVE GIVEN A Z-VALUE

Express the given z-value into three-digit form

Z=1.00

Using the Z-table , find the first two digits on the left
column
Z=1.0
Match the third digit with the appropriate column on
the right
Z=.00
Read the area (or probability) at the intersection of the
row and column
The area is 0.3413
