um yes
so the questions they ask are like WHAT IS THE PROBABILIU FROM 0-whatever.... u take away .5 bc .5 is below the mean, hence bellow 0? idk if that makes sense I hope it does

For normal distribution, you always assume 50% of the data is lower than the mean and 50% is above the mean. Remember the mean is considered to have a z-score of 0.

The table tells us that as the z-score increases, so do the percentage of scores covered.

Since the question is asking what is the probability for selecting a scores between 0 and 1.94, and knowing 0.9738 of the data has a z-score of either 1.94 or lower; subtracting 0.5 takes away all the z-scores below the mean.

this might be a stupid question but just confirming, its possible to use both sine rule and cosine rule right for a question if you have the required information?

like both would work right?

bc sine rule is: ASA and SSA
and cosine rule is: SSS, SAS


SSA is the same as SAS, so both sine and cos would work for a specific question that has SSA.


am I trippin?

you should be fine, ive used sine when they did cosine and i got the same answer, dw

so basically if it says from 0-whatver then u minus 0.5 but if it gives a number and says probaility of more than that number then u minus by 1 right???
