    This document provides an explanation for Exercise 40 from the textbook "Elementary Statistics: A Step by Step Approach". The explanation is in two steps. First, it states that the standard normal distribution has a mean of 0 and is symmetric, with a total probability of 1. Therefore, the probability of a value below 0 is 0.5. Second, it calculates the z-score that corresponds to a cumulative probability of 0.9066 by adding the probabilities below and between 0 and z, finding this z-score to be 1.32.

    Step 1 1 of 2

    We know that 0 is the mean of the standard normal distribution and that the distribution is symmetric about 0.

    Since the total probability is 1, we know that 0.5 has to be the probability of a value smaller than 0:

    P (Z < 0) = 0.5

    The probability of all values smaller than the value z in the graph is then:

    P (Z < z) = P (Z < 0) + P (0 < Z < z) = 0.5 + 0.4066 = 0.9066

    The corresponding z-score z is then given in row/column title of table E which corresponds to a probability of 0.9066 (or
    the probability closest).

    z = 1.32
