The arrow in the graph below points to the area to the left of x . This area is represented by the probability P ( X x ) . Normal tables, computers, and calculators provide or calculate the probability P ( X x ) .

The area to the right is then P ( X x ) = 1 - P ( X x ) .

Remember, P ( X x ) = Area to the left of the vertical line through x .

P ( X x ) = 1 - P ( X x ) = . Area to the right of the vertical line through x

P ( X x ) is the same as P ( X x ) and P ( X x ) is the same as P ( X x ) for continuous distributions.
