Lesson 2
Regions under the
Normal Curve Objectives
At the end of this lesson, the learner should be able to
● correctly identify -scores and corresponding areas;
● accurately identify boundaries; and
● correctly solve problems involving regions under
the normal curve. Essential Questions
● How do we identify regions under the normal curve?
● What are the things to consider in identifying the regions
under the normal curve? Warm Up!

in choosing decisions? Why is probability very important in learning Normal Distribution? Learn about It!
1 The Standard Normal Distribution
expressed in a graph as a normal curve with the following properties: • the graph is a bell-shaped curve; • the graph is asymptotic to the x-axis • the total area under the normal curve is 1 Learn about It!

characterized by the following common scores and their respective areas Try It!
Example 1: What is the area under the normal curve and to
the left of ? Try It!
Example 1: What is the area under the normal curve and to
the left of ?
Solution: 1. Sketch the normal distribution. Try It!

Example 1: What is the area under the normal curve and to
the left of ?
Solution: 3. Shade the required region. Try It!
Example 1: What is the area under the normal curve and to
the left of ?
Solution: 4. Use the table to determine the area associated with the given value. Try It!
Example 1: What is the area under the normal curve and to
the left of ?
Solution: Thus, the area corresponding to in the table is or . Try It!
Example 1: What is the area under the normal curve and to
the left of ?
Solution:
Note that the areas found in the -table refer to the area to the left of any -value under the normal curve. Therefore, the area under the normal curve and to the left of is or . Try It!

Thus, the areas corresponding to and in the table are and ,
respectively. Try It!
Example 2: What is the corresponding area between and the
mean of a normal curve?
Solution: 5. Compute for the area between the two -scores.
To find the area under the normal curve and in between
any two -scores, subtract the bigger area to the smaller area. Try It!
Example 2: What is the corresponding area between and the
mean of a normal curve?
Solution:
Therefore, the area under the curve and in between the two - scores and is or . Let’s Practice!
Individual Practice:
1. How much area is at the left of under a normal curve?
2. Find the area at the right of under a normal curve.
Let’s Practice!
Group Practice: To be done in groups with three members
In a college entrance test, 450 students took the exam and
the results yielded and How many students passed the entrance exam if only those whose score is at least above will pass? Key Points
