The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

Suppose X and Y have a bivariate normal distribution with and ρ = 0.

Determine the following. Round your answers to three decimal places (e.g. 98.765).

(a).

(b).

(c). P(2.90 < X < 3.10, 9.60 < Y < 7.80) =

Solution :

We have

 and

a). The required probability is

  = P(-2.5 < Z < 2.5)  =  P(Z < 2.5) - P(Z < -2.5)

  = P(Z < 2.5) - [1-P(Z < 2.5)]

 = 2P(Z < 2.5) - 1

 = 2(0.99379) - 1

 = 0.98758

 ≈ 0.988

b). The required probability is

  = P(-1.25 < Z < 1.25)  =  P(Z < 1.25) - P(Z < -1.25)

  = P(Z < 1.25) - [1-P(Z < 1.25)]

 = 2P(Z < 1.25) - 1

 = 2(0.89435) - 1

 = 0.7887

 ≈ 0.789

c). Since, ρ = 0, so the X and Y are independent. Thus the required probability is :

P(2.90 < X < 3.10, 9.60 < Y < 7.80) = P(2.9 < X < 3.1) x P(7.6 < Y < 7.8)

     = (0.98758)(0.7887)

     = 0.77890

      ≈ 0.779

x = -5
