### Finding \( z_0 \) Given the Associated Probability

Given:
\[ P(z > z_0) = 0.0505 \]

#### Task:
Find \( z_0 \).

#### Solution and Graphical Representation:
From the information given, we understand that the goal is to find the value of \( z_0 \) which corresponds to the top 5.05% in the tail of the standard normal distribution.

On a standard normal distribution curve (bell curve):

- The area under the curve to the left of \( z_0 \) represents the cumulative probability up to \( z_0 \).
- The area under the curve to the right of \( z_0 \) (the tail area) is given as 0.0505.
- Therefore, the cumulative probability to the left of \( z_0 \) is \( 1 - 0.0505 = 0.9495 \).

Using standard normal distribution tables or a calculator:

\[ z_0 = 0.9495 \]

#### Graph Explanation:
There is a bell-shaped normal distribution curve with the following demarcations:

- The peak of the curve centered at 0 (mean).
- The area under the curve to the left of \( z_0 \) is shaded to represent 0.9495.
- The remaining area (right tail) represents 0.0505.

\[ z_0 = 0.9495 \]

This is the value of \( z_0 \) for which the cumulative probability under the curve to the left is 0.9495 and the right tail probability is 0.0505.

### Summary:
- The associated value \( z_0 \) for the given probability \( P(z > z_0) = 0.0505 \) is 0.9495.
