SL 4.12—Standardizing normal variables Topic Practice
Practise standardising normal variables, using inverse normal values, and solving for thresholds, means or standard deviations from probabilities.
How this is tested
- convert statements like P(W>w)=0.2 to an inverse normal value, then find W
- solve for μ and σ from two probability statements by forming simultaneous equations with z-scores
- use symmetry or a labelled sketch to decide whether the result is z, -z, or central
