• If we want to know the probability that someone earns at
most $C, we are asking: PY  C   ?
(Y   )  C   
We can
(Y   ) C   

rearrange
P ( Z  C*)  ?
terms to get:
where Z 

• Properties for the standard normal variate Z:
– It is normally distributed with a mean of zero and a
variance of 1, written in shorthand as Z~N(0,1)
