Find the zscore such that a The area under the standard norm
Find the z-score such that:
(a) The area under the standard normal curve to its left is 0.5
 z =
(b) The area under the standard normal curve to its left is 0.9826
 z =
(c) The area under the standard normal curve to its right is 0.1423
 z =
(d) The area under the standard normal curve to its right is 0.9394
 z =
Solution
a)
 P ( Z < x ) = 0.5
 Value of z to the cumulative probability of 0.5 from normal table is 0
 P( x-u/s.d < x - 0/1 ) = 0.5
 That is, ( x - 0/1 ) = 0
 --> x = 0 * 1 + 0 = 0                  
 b)
 P ( Z < x ) = 0.9826
 Value of z to the cumulative probability of 0.9826 from normal table is 2.111
 P( x-u/s.d < x - 0/1 ) = 0.9826
 That is, ( x - 0/1 ) = 2.11
 --> x = 2.11 * 1 + 0 = 2.111                  
 c)
 P ( Z > x ) = 0.1423
 Value of z to the cumulative probability of 0.1423 from normal table is 1.07
 P( x-u/ (s.d) > x - 0/1) = 0.1423
 That is, ( x - 0/1) = 1.07
 --> x = 1.07 * 1+0 = 1.07                  
d)
 P ( Z > x ) = 0.9394
 Value of z to the cumulative probability of 0.9394 from normal table is -1.55
 P( x-u/ (s.d) > x - 0/1) = 0.9394
 That is, ( x - 0/1) = -1.55
 --> x = -1.55 * 1+0 = -1.55
