**Interactive Exercise: Normal Distribution and Probability**

**Scenario:**
Assume that a randomly selected subject is given a bone density test. The test scores are normally distributed with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. 

**Task:**
Draw a graph and find the probability of a bone density test score greater than -1.55.

**Instructions:**
1. Sketch the region. Choose the correct graph below:

   **Options:**
   - **Graph A:** A normal distribution curve where the shaded area is to the left of -1.55.
   - **Graph B:** A normal distribution curve where the shaded area is to the right of -1.55.
   - **Graph C:** A normal distribution curve where the shaded area is centered around -1.55.
   - **Graph D:** A normal distribution curve with two shaded areas at -1.55 and 1.55.

2. Determine the correct graph that represents the probability of a score greater than -1.55.

3. Calculate the probability value and fill in the blank.

   **The probability is [ ]**

   *(Round to four decimal places as needed.)*
