Chapter 9: The Normal Probability Distribution

377

The first column in

Table 9-1

, gives the

-

values correct to one decimal

place, and the first row gives the second decimal place for a

score. For

example, if we wanted to find the area between

= 0 and

= 0.62, we will

find

= 0.6 in the first column, then look for

= 0.02 along the first row.

Where the corresponding row and column intersect gives the value of

0.2324. This is the area between

= 0 and

= 0.62. This is equivalent to

finding the probability that

will lie between 0 and 0.62. That is,

P

(0

0.62) = 0.2324 and the area are depicted in

Figure 9-17

.
