Standard Normal Curves

Geometry Level 3

A standard normal curve has two inflection points where it changes concavity.

If P P represents the area contained beneath the curve, above the x x -axis, and in between the two inflection points, find 100 P \lfloor 100P \rfloor


I'm thinking of building out a non-combinatorial Statistics section on Brilliant over summer once I finish my AP stats course. What do you guys think about that? Leave a comment on how you feel in this problem's discussion.


The answer is 68.

Inflection points occur when z = 1 z=1 . Using the 68-95-99.7 rule, the area contained by P ( 1 > z > 1 ) = . 68 P(1>z>-1)=.68

A Statistics section would be great. Looking forward to it!
