Obtain the z-score for which the area under the standard normal curve to its left is0.025.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The z-score under the standard normal curve with the area 0.025to its left is -1.96.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The given area is0.025.

02

Explanation

The given area is 0.025

Begin by looking for the 0.025area in the table's body. The matching z-score for the area is -1.96. As a result, the z-score under the standard normal curve with the area0.025 to its left is -1.96, which can be rendered as
