4) Given that z is a standard normal random variable, find z for
each situation (using excel):
The area to the left of z is .9750.
The area between 0 and z is .4750.
The area to the left of z is .7291.
The area to the right of z is .1314.
The area to the left of z is .6700.
The area to the right of z is .3300.
Excel has a function called NORMSINV (x), which returns the inverse distribution of the normal cumulative distribution.
