What I wished they taught me about Econometrics - An Introduction

56 Finding probabilities using tables Part 3

About this lesson
This video demonstrates a second method for calculating the probability of finding a Z value greater than 1.2 using a specific table, often found in econometrics textbooks like Woolridge. Unlike previous methods that directly calculate the desired area, this table provides cumulative probabilities from the left. The tutorial walks through how to interpret this table, even without an explicit legend, by using provided examples to understand its structure. It then shows how to use the table's output to derive the probability for the area to the right of a Z-score, ensuring the calculation aligns with theoretical CDF principles. This explanation is crucial for understanding how to correctly use statistical tables for econometrics problems and is especially important for exam preparation and hypothesis testing.
