Find the value of z if the area under a Standard Normal curve a) to the right of z is 0.3632; b) to the left of z is 0.1131; c) between 0 and z‚ with z > 0‚ is 0.4838; d) between -z and z‚ with z > 0‚ is 0.9500. Ans : a) z = + 0.35 ( find 0.5- 0.3632 = 0.1368 in the normal table) b) z = -1.21 ( find 0.5 – 0.1131 = 0.3869 in the normal table) c ) the area between 0 to z is 0.4838‚ z = 2.14 d) the area to the

Lung cancer is the most common cancer worldwide‚ and the leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality1. Cigarette smoking is firmly established as a causative agent for lung cancer‚ although about 80 percent of people who develop lung cancer nowadays are non-smokers 2‚3. Inflammatory lung processes‚ such as obstructive pulmonary disease‚ emphysema‚ chronic bronchitis‚ pneumonia and tuberculosis are also known risk factors for lung cancer‚ with significant effects observed for pneumonia

Normal psychology is the study that gives focus on the normal or average human behavior according to the socially acceptable behaviors‚ practices and traits. In contrast‚ abnormal psychology is the study that deals with unusual human behaviors that people deem are against the socially accepted behaviors and that includes mental disorders. Differentiating the two however‚ needs careful study because it involves human judgment which may or may not be necessarily correct. To aptly define and contrast

Thousands of people each year will die of lung cancer and millions more will be diagnosed in the United States. Lung Cancer is disease in which the cells of the lung tissues grow uncontrollably and form tumors. Lung Cancer kills more people‚ both males and females‚ in the United States than any other type of cancer. Although lung cancer is the number one cause of death in the US‚ many Americans still do not realize its significance and how to prevent from being a victim. Why do people in the world

Normal Distribution:- A continuous random variable X is a normal distribution with the parameters mean and variance then the probability function can be written as f(x) = - < x < ‚ - < μ < ‚ σ > 0. When σ2 = 1‚ μ = 0 is called as standard normal. Normal distribution problems and solutions – Formulas: X < μ = 0.5 – Z X > μ = 0.5 + Z X = μ = 0.5 where‚ μ = mean σ = standard deviation X = normal random variable Normal Distribution Problems and Solutions – Example
