Solution

1. Break Down the Problem

We need to find the value of c c such that P(Z<c)=p P(Z < c) = p for given probabilities p p of 0.10, 0.30, 0.50, and 0.70.

2. Relevant Concepts

For a standard normal distribution:

  • The Z-table, also known as the standard normal table, provides the cumulative probabilities P(Z<c) P(Z < c) for various values of c c .

3. Analysis and Detail

Using the Z-table, we will look up the values corresponding to the given probabilities:

  1. For P(Z<c)=0.10 P(Z < c) = 0.10 :

    • From the Z-table, find the value of c c that corresponds to a cumulative probability of 0.10.
    • The value is approximately c1.28 c \approx -1.28 .
  2. For P(Z<c)=0.30 P(Z < c) = 0.30 :

    • Similarly, find the value of c c that corresponds to a cumulative probability of 0.30.
    • The value is approximately c0.52 c \approx -0.52 .
  3. For P(Z<c)=0.50 P(Z < c) = 0.50 :

    • For the median of the standard normal distribution, since P(Z<0)=0.50 P(Z < 0) = 0.50 , we find:
    • The value is c=0.00 c = 0.00 .
  4. For P(Z<c)=0.70 P(Z < c) = 0.70 :

    • Find the value of c c that corresponds to a cumulative probability of 0.70.
    • The value is approximately c0.52 c \approx 0.52 .

4. Verify and Summarize

The values we found correspond to the specified probabilities in the Z-table. Each value satisfies the condition P(Z<c)=p P(Z < c) = p .

Final Answer

The values of c c for the given probabilities are:

  • For 0.10 0.10 : c1.28 c \approx -1.28
  • For 0.30 0.30 : c0.52 c \approx -0.52
  • For 0.50 0.50 : c=0.00 c = 0.00
  • For 0.70 0.70 : c0.52 c \approx 0.52
