**Finding the Indicated Z-Score**

This lesson will guide you through finding the z-score on a standard normal distribution curve.

### Instructions

1. **Objective:**
   - Find the indicated z-score.
   - The graph depicts the standard normal distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.

2. **Understanding the Graph:**
   - The graph represents a bell-shaped curve of the standard normal distribution.
   - The shaded area under the curve to the right of the vertical axis (z = 0) represents approximately 0.7764 of the total area.
   - The curve is symmetrical about the mean (0).

3. **Calculating the Z-Score:**
   - Visualize the point on the horizontal axis where the curve area is needed.
   - The z-score is the value on the horizontal axis that corresponds to this specific area under the curve.

4. **Rounding:**
   - Ensure your z-score is rounded to two decimal places as needed for precise interpretation.

### Input:

- Enter your calculated z-score in the provided box.

### Conclusion:

- Once you have computed the z-score, use it to interpret data points within the standard normal distribution effectively.

When ready, proceed to the next step by clicking "Next".
