You’ll learn

  • Find 'between' probabilities with P(a ≤ z ≤ b) = P(z ≤ b) − P(z ≤ a)
  • Combine the complement and negative-z tricks inside one two-sided calculation
  • Memorise the anchor P(−1.96 ≤ z ≤ 1.96) = 0.95 for all later inferential work
  • Default to z-tables at HL — the empirical rule only when the question says so
