Question

Find z so that 6% of the standard normal curve lies to the left of z. remember that this means you are looking for the area (which means you need to find the 4 digit number in the area portion of table 3 that is closet to 6%).

Answer 1

We can solve this problem by referring to the standard normal probabilities table for z statistic.

At P = 0.06 to the left of z, this corresponds to a value of approximately z = -1.55

Answer: z = - 1.55            (P = 0.0606 ~ 0.06)
