Step 5
Find the value in a look up table of the probability of a z-score of less than 0.0796902.
z=-0.20103092 has an area under the curve 0.0796902
Step 6
Find the value in a look up table of the probability of a z-score of less than 0.05333842.
z=0.13402061 has an area under the curve 0.05333842
Step 7
To find the area between the two z-scores, subtract the smaller z-score value from the larger one. For any negative z-score, change the sign of the result to negative.
0.05333842-(-0.0796902)
Step 8
Find the area between the two z-scores.
