Question

Use the standard normal table to find the​ z-score that corresponds to the cumulative area 0.4661. if the area is not in the​ table, use the entry closest to the area. if the area is halfway between two​ entries, use the​ z-score halfway between the corresponding​ z-scores.

Answer 1

Answer: The corresponding z-score would be -0.085 for a cumulative area of 0.4661.

When you look on a normal distribution table, you will see that the value of 0.4661 falls between z-scores of -0.08 and -0.09. Therefore, we should find the middle of those 2 numbers to get the best possible approximation. That would be -0.085 for the z-score.
