    Statistic
    For a normal distribution, identify the z-score location that would separate the distribution into two sections so that there is
    a) 70% in the body on the right hand side
    b) 80% in the body on the right hand side
    c) 75% in the body on the left hand side
    d) 90% in the body on the left hand side

    a. look up the z score corresponding to a .70 in the body of the table.

    b. same as above only look up .20

    c. z scores come from the left and go right. So, just look up .75 in the body of the table

    d. look up .90

    These are just exercises in locating z scores and reading the z table.

    Also, draw a picture of each of the distributions and the percentages concerned. There are z values which will be negative.
