Step 4.2.1.1

Multiply $- 1$ by $4$ .

$\frac{4.26 - 4}{1.94}$

Step 4.2.1.2

Subtract $4$ from $4.26$ .

$\frac{0.26}{1.94}$

Step 4.2.2

Divide $0.26$ by $1.94$ .

$0.13402061$

Step 5

Find the value in a look up table of the probability of a z-score of less than $0.0796902$ .

$z = - 0.20103092$ has an area under the curve $0.0796902$

Step 6

Find the value in a look up table of the probability of a z-score of less than $0.05333842$ .

$z = 0.13402061$ has an area under the curve $0.05333842$

Step 7

To find the area between the two z-scores, subtract the smaller z-score value from the larger one. For any negative z-score, change the sign of the result to negative.

$0.05333842 - (- 0.0796902)$

Step 8

Find the area between the two z-scores.
