Area for

Example 9-8:
Find the area under the standard normal distribution curve
to the right of
= -1.79.
Solution:
This is equivalent to finding
P
(
-1.79). That is, we need to
find
P
(
-1.79). Using the
Normal Probability Distribution
workbook to
solve, we get the value of 0.9633. Thus,
P
(
-1.79) = 0.9633. The result
is shown in
Figure 9-31
