Q. Find the area in the left tail more extreme than z=−2.56 in a standard normal distribution. Round your answer to four decimal places. Area - □
Understand the problem: Step 1: Understand the problem.We need to find the area under the standard normal curve to the left of z=−2.56. This area represents the probability of a z-score being less than −2.56.
Use distribution table: Step 2: Use the standard normal distribution table or a calculator.Since the z-score table or calculator gives the area to the left of a z-score, directly look up z=−2.56 or use a calculator's function for the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the standard normal distribution.
Find the area: Step 3: Find the area from the table or calculator.Using a calculator, the CDF value for z=−2.56 is approximately 0.0052. This is the area under the curve to the left of z=−2.56.
