Section B.2 Normal Probability Table

The area to the left of \(Z\) represents the percentile of the observation. The normal probability table always lists percentiles.

To find the area to the right, calculate 1 minus the area to the left.

For additional details about working with the normal distribution and the normal probability table, see Section 4.1.
