Table 8-5 Cumulative (Single Tail) Probabilities of the Normal Probability Distribution (Areas under the Normal Curve from – o to Z) Example: the area to the left of Z = 1.34 is found by following the left Z column down to 1.3 and moving right to the .04 column. At the intersection read 9099. The area to the right of Z- 1.34 is - 9099 - 0901. The area between the mean (center ZX line) and Z- 1.34 is 9099-5- 4099. 01 .02 .03 .04 .Os .06 07 .08 .09 S000 5040 SO80 5120 5160 5199 5239 5279 5319 5359 5398 5438 5478 5517 5557 5596 5636 5675 5714 5753 .2 5793 5832 5871 5910 5948 5987 6026 .6064 6103 6141 .6179 6217 .6255 6293 6331 6368 6406 6443 6480 6517 6554 6591 .6628 6664 6700 6736 6772 .6808 6844 6879 6915 6950 6985 7019 .7054 7088 7123 .7157 .7190 .7224 .7257 7291 .7324 7357 .7389 .7422 7454 .7486 .7517 7549 .7 .7580 7611 7642 7673 .7704 7734 7764 .7794 7823 7852 .7881 7910 .7939 7967 .7995 8023 S051 8078 8106 S133 8159 8186 8212 8238 8264 8289 8315 8340 8365 8389 10 8413 8438 8461 8485…
